I'm trying to locate all the remaining cattle/horse troughs that were erected by an organisation called the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain & Cattle Trough Association. 22 of these troughs were erected in Yorkshire including 2 in Leeds in 1936. One of the Leeds troughs is now on Low Road, Hunslet. Does anyone know the location of the other granite horse trough in Leeds?

I think there is one on Otley Road in Far Headingley, near the three horseshoes
