EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jane Greatorex LRPS transports us back in time to the quaint village of Longstanton, Cambridgeshire. The focal point of this image is a beautifully preserved Victorian Village Pump, standing tall and proud amidst its surroundings. Made entirely of cast iron, this historic water pump has withstood the test of time and remains an extraordinary testament to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Listed as a significant heritage site (IoE 50819), this village pump holds immense historical value for the local community. It served as a vital source of welfare during an era when access to clean water was crucial for public health. Its vibrant green hue adds a touch of charm against the backdrop of rustic buildings and cobblestone streets. Jane Greatorex's expertly captured photograph not only showcases the architectural beauty but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the rhythmic creaking sound as villagers operated the handle, drawing refreshing water from deep within. With every detail meticulously preserved through Jane's lens, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important reminder that our past shapes our present. It invites us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of advancements in public health while cherishing these remnants from bygone eras that continue to enrich our cultural landscape today.
