Clifton Green horse trough was built in 1883 and rather thoughtfully has a lower tier also filled with water for which I am sure many smaller animals and birds are greatful. It is still filled with water but has a series of dire warnings attached stating that "The police are instructed to apprehend any one playing with or dirtying the water" and "Any person injuring the trough, cover, seat or trees on Clifton Green will be prosecuted as the law directs". Finally in case you are still in any doubt "For use by animals only other users will be prosecuted by order".
I bet the local dogs love it on a warm summer day!
