One of a number of troughs throughout London erected by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association.

Founded in 1859 these troughs were placed all over the metropolitan district reflecting the increase in horse drawn road traffic caused by the expansion of London.

This one was erected about 1900.
