| Comments | I can't match this trough with any in the MDFCTA records. This trough is one of several erected in memory of Robert Trotter. The owner of The Rookery didn't know where this trough was originally located. My very tentative guess is that this trough was originally on Rhodeswell Road, Stepney (outside a pub called the Edinburgh Castle). Does anyone know the history and provenance of this trough? |
