Description

The cattle trough and drinking fountain, built in 1901, is made of grey granite and sits on a moulded grey granite base. Atop the granite plinth is a carved Portland stone fountain head designed in a Roman Baroque style, featuring a broken pediment, volutes, and a prominent keystone adorned with a boar's head, along with carved grotto-like vegetation below. One side of the trough includes a semi-circular pink granite drinking bowl with the date 1901 inscribed above it, and a dog trough below. The structure is marked with the inscription 'Metropolitan Fountain and Cattle Trough Association'. This fountain and trough are noted for their unusually elaborate design.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
