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

	This unusual pump is on the Holkham estate, just off the A149 coast road, in the car park behind the gift shop and tearoom. The twin-layered wooden-tiled roof includes decorative holes for birds' nests.
	Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk

There are in fact two completely separate pumps under the canopy, each with its own handle and spout. The original and older one is contained within the supporting pillar, and has a lead spout, a fulcrum that has broken free of its mounting, but nothing else visible below its operating rod. The other pump is contained within a wooden box that has been attached to the pillar, uses a bent and threaded steel pipe for a spout, and has a visible working barrel, lagged with old sacking.
