On 11 May 1936 two 9ft 6in troughs [2683 & 2684] were erected in Leeds. One at Wetherby Road near Elmet Avenue; the original location of the other is unknown. One of these troughs is still extant in Hunslet.

An MDFCTA trough may have been moved to 25 Willwood Avenue, Oakes, Huddersfield.

The trough in this photo may be next to a canal somewhere in Yorkshire. Can anyone recognise the location?.
