EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of the Brentford public fountain at Kew Bridge, erected in 1877 at the request of Mrs. Wheeler in loving memory of her late husband, Samuel Wheeler. The fountain stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and commitment to serving the community.
Costing £1600, this grand structure was designed not only for people but also for animals, with separate troughs provided for cattle to drink from. It served as a vital source of water for horses, cows, and other creatures passing through the area.
The intricate details of the fountain showcase the craftsmanship and dedication that went into its creation. From ornate carvings to elegant spouts pouring out refreshing water, every element speaks to a bygone era when such public amenities were treasured by all who encountered them.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age when communal spaces like this fountain brought people together and fostered a sense of unity within neighborhoods. It serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for both our fellow humans and the animals with whom we share this planet.
Let us honor the memory of Samuel Wheeler and his wife by cherishing such historical landmarks that continue to enrich our lives today.
