Bills horse troughs : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bills horse troughs
Bills horse troughs are watering troughs that were manufactured in Australia and installed to provide relief for working horses in the first half of the twentieth century. The troughs were financed by a trust fund established through the will of George Bills. A total of around 700 troughs were distributed by the trust in Australia and 50 in several other countries. ==George and Annis Bills== George Bills was born in Brighton in England in 1859. He migrated with his family to New Zealand and subsequently to Echuca, Victoria in Australia in 1873.〔 In 1882 he opened a bird dealers shop in Brisbane, where he met and married Annis Swann who had immigrated from Sheffield in England.〔 In 1884 the couple moved to Sydney and George Bills went into business with his brothers, manufacturing innerspring mattresses.〔 In 1908, George retired to Hawthorn, Victoria and in 1910, Annis died while the couple were visiting England.〔 George became a Life Governor of the RSPCA in 1924.
