Osborne's Trough
Location: Junction of Worcester Road and North Malvern Road.
Grid Reference: SO77544682


This small metal animal trough and tap can be seen just below the junction of North Malvern Road and Worcester Road (A449), in the supporting wall below Penny Cottage, formerly a public toilet, just south of Trinity Church.

The Trinity Trough probably dates from the mid 19th century for the use of carriage horses and donkeys but is now dry. In a 1997 book on the Malvern springs by Cora Weaver and Bruce Osborne, they named it Osborne's Fountain after Bruce Osborne.
