Band of Mercy inscriptions

Bands of Mercy were local organisations established to encourage children to show kindness to animals. The Band of Mercy movement was started in 1875 by Catherine Smithies and was taken over by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in 1882. A few troughs include a Band of Mercy inscription.
