That's fantastic. Never seen one of those before.

Do you know why the memorial is located there?

Good question! I've found this interesting blog post, which has photos of ABW horse troughs at Burstow, Surrey, and Melbourne, Australia. wordsonstone.wordpress.com/tag/martock/
But nothing on why Martock in particular has one.

Thanks Berenice - a new horse trough. :cheer:

I had recorded four in the UK:
Watford
Bristol
Burstow
WInchester

These were given by private individuals, I suspect the same is true of the Martock one.
