This striking photograph captures the historic moment of the opening of the new Thames Ditton Water Works at Seething Wells on 30 March 1852. The Lambeth Water Company, which had been established in 1850 to provide clean water to the residents of Lambeth, was expanding its operations to meet the growing demand for water in the surrounding areas. The image shows a large crowd gathered around the water works, which were located in Thames Ditton, Surrey. The main attraction of the scene is the impressive water tower, which stands tall against the backdrop of the rolling hills and green fields. The tower, which was designed by the renowned engineer Joseph Paxton, was an engineering marvel of its time, capable of storing over one million gallons of water. The opening ceremony was presided over by Sir Joseph Paxton, who is seen in the photograph standing next to the water tower, addressing the crowd. Other distinguished guests include Sir Frederick Hurne, the chairman of the Lambeth Water Company, and various local dignitaries. The crowd, which includes men, women, and children, is dressed in their Sunday best, reflecting the importance of the occasion. The opening of the Thames Ditton Water Works marked a significant milestone in the history of water supply in London. The new works not only provided clean water to the residents of Lambeth but also helped to improve the overall water supply infrastructure in the area. The success of the Lambeth Water Company inspired other water companies to follow suit, leading to a significant improvement in the water supply situation in London and its suburbs. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Victorian engineers and entrepreneurs who worked tirelessly to provide clean water to the growing population of London. It is a reminder of the importance of water as a vital resource and the role that engineering and innovation play in ensuring its availability and accessibility to all.
