Title: Washing down the statue of King Alfred [Go to resource]
Description: This shows the City of Winchester Firemen, led by the Brigade Captain J A Sawyer (in brass helmet and epaulettes), washing down the statue, possibly to remove the sugar used to slide the statue into place. This had melted in the heat and attracted many wasps as it dripped down. The firemen are using their 1889 Merryweather steamer 'Victoria', which was scrapped in 1917. Reference: James, T. B. (1993).
