Description

Unique IDA-00044293SeriesCity Engineer's Photographic Negatives, 1953-1975DateBetween 1st January 1953 and 31st December 1954Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - NegativeDescriptionView of Jessie Stuart Broomfield Memorial Dog Trough and Fountain, erected by the Municipal Council of Sydney in 1941. The fountain was funded by a bequest from Miss Jessie Stuart Broomfield, who specified the provision of dog troughs 'in and around the City of Sydney'. However the City Engineer did not wish to encourage dogs in the main city parks as they 'cause great damage to plants, and in addition pollute the grass and cause annoyance to the quiet enjoyment of these areas by citizens'. Moore Park near the northern corner of Driver Avenue and MacArthur Avenue, was chosen as dogs were permitted to be exercised at this location.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)
