Horse Troughs
Remember the large horse trough [ I don't ] that used to be in Fitzalan Square?
I read in the My Kind of Town book that it is situated in the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet.
Has anyone seen it? It seems remarkable that it has been "lost " for over 80 years
and was found in the undergrowth at the Hamlet.
Who knows where it has been in the between years.
Made by the North of Scotland Granite Company of red Peterhead granite.
It is now restored and polished to its former self
Henry Wilson (of Westbrook Snuff Mills) died 16th November 1880. His son Alfred died in October 1890.
Alfred's sister Louise Ellen married A.A. Harland, who was the vicar of Harefield, Uxbridge. Alfred's sister Elizabeth married W.Thompson.
The Thompson and Harland on the trough were daughters of the elder Mr Wilson
Maybe the one from Hunter's Bar - just up the road from the Westbrook Mill?
