This image shows local residents in Aldgate collecting water at a public street pump. Water for drinking and washing was collected daily from such stand pumps. The use of communal facilities could encourage neighbourliness and a sense of community.
Not every record in Collections Online is complete. Some have low quality images designed purely for recognition, while some have been catalogued only to a basic standard. This graphic is designed to give you an impression of the quality of data you can see. 100% meets all our current data standards and has a high quality image, 20% is a basic record with no image. Individual record quality can change over time as new photography is carried out and records are worked on.
