Description: Gee was the local undertaker and joiner. In 1897, according to a Clowne Rural District Council map, there were 39 pumps in Whitwell and 15 wells. The latter, presumably, where water was drawn up in a bucket, not pumped up. The pump in the Square was a very important source of supply before 1912. Many inhabitants declared it gave the sweetest water in the village. People could fetch water from the pump when they wished. Huge barrels filled with the water were trundled round the village on a low horse-drawn dray for sale at cottage doors - one halfpenny a bucketful. Gradually piped water supplies were introduced throughout the parish. (information from www.wlhg.co.uk)
