The horse trough on Western Esplanade erected in1903 in memory of Madam Maes and other members of the Marett family, Southampton


Memorial horse trough, Southampton A carved stone horse trough donated to the people of Southampton in memory of the Marette family. Set into the pavement in 1900 in Southampton, Hampshire this simple stone horse trough has stood by the south-west corner of the old walls, just below the West Gate, opposite Herbert Walker Avenue leading to the New Docks of the 1930s, for which reclamation transformed the scene it serves to recall. The one facing the old town walls carries the words of S T Coleridge: “He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small For the dear God who loveth us He made and loveth all.”
