Sanitary Report 1895 - page 4

Slopstone:
A slopstone was a wide bottomed, shallow stone sink that was built under a tap or pump.
It was tilted slightly so that waste water would flow toward a drain hole into a bucket or pipe.
The sink was shallow enough to be used for chopping meat or boning fish, etc.
A bowl or wooden tub was placed in the sink for washing dishes.
