Rectangular trough on squat plinths at either end, with chamfered edges to the base. Ogive section at north end with a drinking basin for human use on the outside. The brass spouts and chained cup have been lost. On one side is the inscription IN MEMORY OF MISS J.E. GORDON; on the other, the name of the MCTDFA in full. HISTORY: the MCTDFA was founded in 1859 by Samuel Gurney MP and was responsible for the erection of many comparable troughs across the capital. This example formerly stood on the opposite side of the road. Listed as a reminder of the almost-vanished presence of horses and cattle in the city, and as a handsome and durable piece of street furniture.
