Dogs, Troughs, Memorials, Mitcham's Corner

In 1934 a memorial trough was erected on Mitcham’s Corner in the memory of a dog named Tony.

The inscription reads: “In memory of Tony a dog who gave him friendship and happiness during his Cambridge years. This trough is erected by his royal highness Prince Chula of Siam”.
