EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Chelsea Waterworks in the 18th century. The image showcases the impressive Newcomen steam engine, nestled between two sturdy brick buildings, which provided the essential pumping power for this historical water supply system. In a bustling community like Chelsea during the 18th century, access to clean water was crucial for daily life. The sight of the towering steam engine would have been both awe-inspiring and reassuring to residents who relied on it for their water needs. The rich history of these water works dates back to around 1750, when they were at the forefront of technological innovation. The Newcomen steam engine revolutionized the way water was pumped and supplied to homes and businesses in Chelsea, ensuring a reliable source of fresh water for all. As you gaze upon this remarkable print from Mary Evans Picture Library, you can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of the steam engine and feel a sense of gratitude for those who worked tirelessly to maintain such an essential service. Let yourself be transported back in time to an era where progress and ingenuity went hand in hand with community well-being.
