The Ivy House Trough, Hanley: A Monument to Man, Beast, and Community

The Ivy House Trough, Hanley: A Monument to Man, Beast, and Community
Halfway up Bucknall New Road, as you are heading towards Hanley, an unassuming drinking trough stands as a testament to the area's past. Unveiled in September 1879, this trough not only served the practical needs of travellers and their animals but also adorned the landscape opposite the once bustling Ivy House Inn and in front of the old toll house.

Many years ago the trough was on the other side of the road, almost in front of the pub. It was moved when the road was improved about 50 years ago, as far as I remember.

I love your vlogs, you clearly know your stuff and it must take so much time to film, edit and to research but here is the but, can you please stop using so much sad music, it’s great stuff and so interesting but a little depressing at the same time.
