The trough was presented by Mrs Braybrooke of Eastbourne in 1905.

Former drinking trough, inscribed with the words "Be merciful to all God's creatures". The inscription on the right hand end is "Presented by Mrs Braybrooke of Eastbourne 1905". Although not specified as such, it would appear typical of the type promoted by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. This is not its original site, which was at the junction of Bull Hill and Kingston Road. It had been donated to the town in 1905 by Mary Braybrooke when nearby Bradmere Pond was filled in prior to the site being developed for Park Rise the following year. The trough was removed in 1964 when the junction was to be remodelled. It was going to be destroyed but was purchased privately by a Dennis Hooker and was kept firstly in the owner's garden in Vale Lodge (off Downs Lane) and later in Orchardleigh (off St Nicholas Hill). It was moved to its present site by the local council in 2002. It originally had a drinking fountain incorporated in it, but this had been lost during its various moves; also the granite base is not original. In the background is the tower of the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas.
