Hia all, just to add another name to the mix. I have spoken to my friend who grew up in Crookes, where her Gran had a shop till the '50s. She remembers the name ' DROICH' and this spelling, but has no idea where it was.

Page taken from Bradfield Parish Newsletter, March 2013, has a mention of the four toughs on Loxley Road. www.bradfield-yorks-pc.co.uk/documents/Newsletter March 2013.pdf Quote "Four troughs on Loxley Road are particularly interesting. The upper troughs have a canopy, which would have enabled only the householders to collect water, stopping animals’ access to the water and avoiding contamination.The lower troughs were there to provide animals with a drink. Along the front of these lower troughs is a row of ‘Kicking Stones’ – there to prevent animal hooves from damaging the troughs." Edit: added to
