77/8 Cattle Trough (At Junction of West Carriage Drive with Serpentine)

II

Cattle trough. Late C19. Provided by and inscribed "Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association." Grey granite trough supported on rectangular blocks with waste water tray beneath. Shaped head and cistern at one end. Founded in 1859 the Metropolitan Free Drinking Fountain Association (Cattle Trough added 1867) provided free fresh water to many humans and beasts at a time when ale and spirits were easier to obtain than water and most supplies contaminated. Cattle driven to metropolitan markets and, by 1885, over 50,000 working horses in London were spared the frequent risk of death from dehydration by the provision of troughs.
