Our world

 
The trough outside Horniman Circle possibly for the horses to drink from in the Victorian era. It was erected by Bai Mancooverbai Ardon in 1873.

    I should imagine then that this would have been a very different scene Deepak, they were pretty lucky to have such a decorative trough oui!

    We used to have a lot of drinking fountains - for humans and for dogs. I imagine from the same era. Troughs for horses were less ornate(here, that is) and the ones which remain, I think, are older. We no longer need troughs for horses (here in England)and maybe not for dogs - but we could do with drinking fountains for people again.

    I can imagine all the horses passing through here and some taking a drink at the fountain.

    hm, never thought of fountains as water troughs. I bet the fountains around here were used for that too.

    Nice to see it still standing. I hope this trough has a long life.
    Does it still have water in it?

    Nice picture. :)
