What is recorded here

Freestanding water trough, c.1880. Now in use as planter. Cut limestone rectangular-plan base with carved limestone panelled side walls having square-headed recesses with inner recessed ogee-headed motifs and circular recesses to rim. Located to side of road at crossroads.

This former water trough occupies a prominent site as the focal point at a busy crossroads. It displays evidence of fine stone crafting and carving and is of well-executed design, incorporating Gothic elements and motifs in the side panels. It forms part of a group with several identical troughs found elsewhere in the city, including Douglas Street and Parnell Place.
