as kids out on our bikes we would usually have a drink from the dulwich village fountain. cast iron mugs on chains. wish i had a pound for every pair of lips been on those.
not forgetting the 'famous' trough featured in the 70's film 'melody' where she lets her goldfish swim in it! [sniffle] https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4...54jeLXYR-c1UPeNC7Qpw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
A trough (in Barnes) features in "The Plank" (a silent film written & directed by Eric Sykes). The same trough appears in both the original 1967 version and the 1979 re-make. In the 1979 version Frankie Howard is taking photos of Ann Sidney next to the trough, who end up in the water. Also, Charlie Drake (I think) appears to take drink out of it. The trough is now full of plants, not water.
