EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating scene of a man diligently filling a bucket at an old-fashioned water pump outside an inn called The Plume of Feathers. Nestled in the lush, green countryside, this charming public house, recommended by the Automobile Association, invites weary travelers to take a break from their journeys. The Plume of Feathers, with its inviting sign adorned with feathers, offers more than just a place to quench one's thirst. The man, dressed in work clothes, leans over the pump handle, his muscles taut as he pumps the handle up and down, the water gushing into the bucket. The sun casts a warm glow on the scene, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The inn, a quintessential English pub, stands proudly in the background, its whitewashed walls and thatched roof a testament to its rich history. The Plume of Feathers is not just a place to fill up on water, but also on delicious meals and refreshing beverages. The inn serves lunches and teas, providing travelers with a hearty and satisfying meal to fuel their onward journey. Among the offerings, draught cider is a popular choice, adding to the rustic charm of the inn. This photograph, taken in a bygone era, transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the past. The simple pleasures of filling a bucket at a water pump and enjoying a meal at a cozy inn continue to resonate with us today, reminding us of the importance of taking a break and savoring the moment.
