EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1900, capturing a picturesque scene of an old mill in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent waterwheel at work, its sturdy wooden spokes turning gracefully as it harnesses the power of flowing water. This exterior view provides a glimpse into the industrious nature of this historic site. Chipping Campden boasts a rich history dating back to medieval times, with four watermills situated on sites mentioned in the Domesday Book. This particular photograph by Henry Taunt showcases one such mill in all its glory. The attention to detail is remarkable; every weathered brick and moss-covered stone tells a story of centuries past. Taunt's expertise behind the lens shines through as he perfectly captures not only the architectural beauty but also the essence of daily life surrounding this working mill. One can almost hear the rhythmic sound of rushing water and feel a gentle mist against their skin while observing this snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, we are reminded that these mills were once vital hubs for local communities - places where grain was ground into flour and dreams were woven alongside each turn of that mighty wheel.
