lindisfarne At Lindisfarne Castle (NT), Lindisfarne, Northumberland, this wooden-boxed pump was used to lift water from a cistern beneath the flagstones which was filled by rainwater from the roof. Metal tabs can still be discerned in some nearby flagstones to allow them to be lifted in order to provide access to the cistern. Currently (2018) the cladding has been removed, as indeed the pump will be - temporarily, I hope - whilst the castle undergoes a major renovation. Thanks to Nick Lewis at Lindisfarne Castle for sending the 2018 photos on the far right, confirming the markings.

Markings: Flag, "2½" and "MADE IN ENGLAND"

Manufacturer: Lee Howl.		 lindisfarne lindisfarne, 2018 lindisfarne, 2018
