Aylesbury (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

	One of just two pumps remaining in Aylesbury, Bucks, this one stands at about 10ft up a wall in the narrow Pebble Lane (once named Church Row). It seems highly likely that it was intended to serve water carts, and the short handle must have meant that the user probably had to stand on top of the cart in order to operate it. The outlet shows signs of damage - see the image bottom right - and I imagine that originally there would have been a flexible pipe to reach the water cart or, probably more likely, a retractable chute that swung out, away from the wall. There's still a drain cover in the lane, directly opposite the pump. Thanks to Leo Williams for all of the photos. A commemorative plaque reads:
	THIS WATER PUMP WAS INSTALLED C1840 T0 PROVIDE DRINKING WATER FOR THE PEOPLE OF AYLESBURY THIS PLAQUE WAS ERECTED JOINTLY BY THE AYLESBURY SOCIETY AND BUCKS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY IN ENVIRONMENT WEEK MAY 1990
	Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk.

		A substantial pump near Walton Pond. Thanks to Leo Williams for the two images on the far right, proving that there are no markings on the other side of the pump, and also that the cap looks rather more modern than the body of the pump. The information board below reads:
		WALTON PUMP THIS PUMP PROVIDED WATER FOR THE PEOPLE OF WALTON PARISH AND IS ONE OF TWO REMAINING IN AYLESBURY. IT ORIGINALLY STOOD IN WALTON GREEN AND WAS RESTORED AND RELOCATED IN 1997 AND AGAIN IN 2024 BY THE AYLESBURY SOCIETY.
