EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Fleet Street Drinking Fountain, situated in front of the parish church of St. Dunstan-in-the-West in London. Erected in 1860, the fountain was a generous gift from Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P. and Alderman of the ward of Farringdon. The public drinking fountain, a cherished landmark in the bustling heart of Fleet Street, was unveiled on 11 July of that year. Sir James Duke's philanthropic endeavor aimed to provide fresh water to the thirsty crowds that frequented the area, which was then a hub of journalism and publishing. The Gothic Revival design of the fountain, with its intricate stonework and ornate features, adds to its historical significance and charm. The parish church of St. Dunstan-in-the-West, with its distinctive red brick and white stone façade, serves as a picturesque backdrop to the fountain. The church, which dates back to the 11th century, has a rich history of its own, having survived the Great Fire of London in 1666. This photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the Victorian era, where the simple pleasure of quenching one's thirst at the public fountain was a daily ritual for the people of Fleet Street. The image is a testament to the enduring history and character of London, and a reminder of the generosity and community spirit that once flourished in the city.
