Drinking Fountain and Troughs –
Horsham
The trough in Horsham was set up in honour of Captain R B Drummond
MVO, the inscription on the rear side confirms this. Drummond was
the Chief Constable of West Sussex Police and served the county
between September 1879 and July 1912. West Sussex Police Force,
headquartered at that time in the Barttelot Road station, was
created during Drummonds time in office; 11th April 1889. Prior to
that the policing was controlled by the boroughs of Arundel and
Chichester The trough has an additional inscription on the front
right hand leg. It reads 10 Victoria Str, London SW1?, wear and
tear removing the full text. The fourth thumbnail shows an
advertisment for the association which gives the address of 111
Victoria Street. The cache has a log book but no pencil If anybody
would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask
that you could let Merstham Mafia know first so that they can keep
track of the cache numbers and names to avoid duplication
