EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the ornate Faversham Water Pump, a historic landmark located in the heart of Faversham Market Place, Kent, England. Installed in 1855, this water pump replaced an earlier one that dated back to 1635. The intricately designed pump, with its elegant curves and intricate detailing, once served as a vital source of water for the local community. The Faversham Water Pump is a testament to the rich history of Faversham and its commitment to providing its residents with a reliable water supply. Prior to 1855, the community relied on the earlier pump, which had been in place for over 200 years. However, as the population grew and the demand for water increased, a more efficient and effective solution was needed. In 1864, a piped water supply was introduced, which further enhanced the water delivery system in Faversham. The ornate pump, however, remained a cherished symbol of the community's history and its commitment to providing clean water to its residents. The Faversham Water Pump is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from near and far to marvel at its beauty and historical significance. Its intricate design, which includes a gilded angel holding a water jug, is a reminder of the importance of water as a vital resource and the ingenuity of those who have worked to ensure its availability throughout history.
