Genuine Sand stone Trough antique farmhouse reclaimedplante
Original and genuine Sand Stone water Trough. An original cut stone trough, with rough cut front, sides and back. Ideal water trough, planter, display or could be made into a circulating water feature if you could find an old fashioned hand water pump. Was used in our farm yard in the days when we used to turn cows out of the shippons to drink in the yard troughs in winter. Water used to constanly run in through a pipe at the back, then out of the bottom to another trough. Overall size is 58 inches by 26 inches by 21 inches deep; Has drain hole cut into it where a lead pipe used to feed another trough further down the yard. Has a couple of hair line cracks that have been in it since I was a young lad. Comes with a lifetime of accumulated moss, giving it a timeless and aged appearance. (We used to have a trout live and swim in the trough in my childhood days in these troughs to keep the insides clean) Could be sand blasted if required, but it seems a shame to spoil over 50 years of genuine patina that couldn't be re created. Very solid and very heavy, will weigh around a quarter of a tonne (250kg plus). Offered for sale at £ We are based near Garstang Lancashire Viewing welcome.
