Water trough, reference LHL113
LHL113

Updated on Thursday, September 4.
A polished, red granite animal water trough with human drinking fountain at one end and all supported on two plain, grey granite blocks. Erected by subscription and given to the Borough of Faversham in June 1899, its original cast iron cistern by an obscure London ironmonger named S.B. Goslin, remains in place. The trough is simply detailed, with plain chamfers to the granite arises and broad chamfers to its long undersides. The small human fountain is housed behind an ogival upstand, with a corbelled and projecting semi-circular bowl. The trough is unique to Faversham and a highly visible reminder of late 19th Century social conditions and the attitude to civic munificence.
