Milking a Goat

circa 1910

This charming image from around 1910 offers a rare glimpse into everyday rural life in Sutton, then still a village on the edge of the capital. A woman kneels to milk a goat beside a stone wall, dressed in a long striped gown typical of Edwardian working women. In the background, a donkey watches from the yard, adding a gentle pastoral note to the scene.

Such photographs are precious windows into a way of life that has largely disappeared — modest, hard-working, and deeply rooted in the rhythms of the land.
