Description

This is a late 19th-century cattle trough located on High Street in Hornsey. It is made of granite and has a rectangular shape with a chamfered base supported by two granite supports. The trough features an inscription that reads "Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association." Below the main trough, there is a dog trough, and it is also accompanied by two domed curbing stones.

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.
