EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1949, we are transported back in time to witness the essential process of pipe laying. The image showcases a remarkable scene where a Cub Priestman Excavator and a diligent labourer with a shovel work harmoniously on digging a ditch. Their combined efforts are focused on creating an efficient drainage system for cottages, ensuring the smooth flow of water through the pipes. The significance of this moment lies not only in its historical context but also in the mastery displayed by these workers. With soil flying around and machinery humming, it is evident that every movement has been carefully calculated to achieve optimal results. The excavation machine stands tall as it effortlessly digs into the earth, while the labourer's precision with his trusty shovel complements its mechanical prowess. This photograph captures more than just physical labor; it symbolizes progress and innovation within plumbing practices during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to adapt technology for practical purposes like improving sanitation systems. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection, this image offers us an invaluable glimpse into our past. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of infrastructure development while highlighting the importance of collaboration between man and machine when tackling complex projects such as drainage systems.
