In this wonderful photo of Epping High Street from c1915, a horse is drinking from the old water fountain which was installed in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

Behind the cart, an early motorcar can be seen, probably in for a service at Cottis Garage (far right). The building survives to this day.
