DescriptionGuy Miller worked as an artist and was curator of the South London Fine Art Gallery during the 1930s. This was once a parish pump that provided the only water supply for properties nearby. It survives today at what used to be called the Triangle, but has been moved. The horse-trough has gone, as have some of the surrounding buildings. As in this painting, it is surmounted by a gas lamp today.
