EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s in the quaint village of Grandborough, Warwickshire. The focal point of the image is a rustic village pump, standing tall amidst its surroundings. It served as a lifeline for the community before modern conveniences brought running water into their homes. In this snapshot of everyday life, we see a young servant girl dutifully fulfilling her task of fetching water from the pump. Her worn-out apron and tired expression reveal that this was not an easy chore. Alongside her are two mischievous urchins who have also been sent on the same errand, adding an element of youthful energy to the scene. The simplicity and innocence captured in this photograph transport us to a bygone era when life revolved around basic necessities like water collection. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much our lives have changed over time with advancements in technology and infrastructure. Photographed by S W A Newton for Alfred Newton and Son in 1901, this image offers us a glimpse into Edwardian childhood and showcases ordinary people going about their daily routines. As we admire this historical gem preserved by Historic England, let it serve as a tribute to those who endured arduous tasks like fetching water just to sustain their households.
