EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming snapshot of a bygone era: The Donkeys of Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight. In this image, two donkeys named Ned and Jack are seen working diligently to draw water from the well at Carisbrooke Castle. The well house and water-drawing system, which still operates to this day, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the castle. The Donkeys of Carisbrooke Castle have been an integral part of the castle's water supply system for centuries. The donkeys' strength and agility were harnessed to turn the large water wheel, which in turn drew water from the castle's well. This system was crucial for the daily needs of the castle's inhabitants, as well as for the maintenance of the castle's gardens. The image, taken in the 1930s, transports us back in time to an era when life was simpler, and the reliance on animals for everyday tasks was the norm. The quaint well house, with its intricate stonework and moss-covered roof, adds to the idyllic scene. The donkeys, with their expressive faces and gentle demeanor, seem almost human in their dedication to their task. Today, the Donkeys of Carisbrooke Castle continue to be a huge tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world who are captivated by the history and charm of this unique system. A visit to the castle is not complete without witnessing the donkeys at work, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the important role animals played in our history.
