The water supply for the tenement
Description
Women collect water in their buckets from the outside water supply of a tenement building in Sandport Street in Edinburgh. Two of the women carry small children while the third leans against the wall that encloses the source of the water supply. One woman has her foot in the gutter channel that leads to a drain.
