The Old Pump Makers. 

These are the ones I've found so far - listed in alphabetical order (there will be many more.)
pump 

Manufacturer  Details Trademark
W. Affleck, Swindon. Seen on a pump in Meysey Hampton, Glos, and most likely refers to William Affleck, founder of the Prospect Engineering Works, Swindon, who was born in Gateshead in 1816 and died in 1894. affleck 
L. Airey,
Plumber,
Kendal.
Said to be on a pump at Soulby Green, Cumbria.  
Amies and Barford, Peterborough. Seen on a pump at Binbrook, Lincs. Amies & Barford were a firm of ironmongers and builders merchants, and records over the period 1860-1937 lists Barford & Perkins Ltd., as road roller and agricultural machinery manufacturers.  
Appleby & Co, Renishaw Ironworks, Renishaw, Derbs (between Chesterfield and Sheffield). Found quite widely around the country, including Glos, Warks, Herts, Essex, Cumbs and Yorks. A pump in Graveley, Herts, reportedly carries the inscription:

APPLEBY & Co. RENISHAW IRON WORKS
INVENTORS & MANUFACTURERS
OF PUMPS WITH REGISTERED
BUCKETS & CONE VALVES. No 4017.
 
But commonly the inscription reads:

APPLEBY & CO.
RENISHAW
IRONWORKS
NR CHESTERFIELD
And one in Wilmcote, Warks, reads:

APPLEBY & CO.
PATENTEES
RENISHAW IRON WORKS
DERBYSHIRE
appleby appleby
The Renishaw History Group tells me that Appleby & Co Renishaw Iron Works was founded in the late 18 century by Thomas Appleby, who died on 15 Nov 1814. James Appleby, probably his son, is mentioned in 1841 as being the owner, and the Renishaw Iron Works was by the mid-19th Century one of the largest in Britain. It closed in 1999.  
T. Ashfield Found on a pump at St. Bride's Major, Vale of Glamorgan. Not yet positively identified identified this company, but I've found a Thomas Ashfield, pump maker of North Malvern, Worcs, who died in 1872. T.Ashfield
William Baily,
71 Gracechurch St.,
London
Found on a pump at Dunmore, Falkirk. The company advertised themselves in 1840 as "Furnishing Ironmongers", and they exhibited in the Great Exhibition of 1851. By 1870 William's sons, Charles and Henry Baily, were running the company and they advertised themselves as "Manufacturing and Furnishing Ironmongers, Smiths, Bellhangers, Gas Fitters & Stove, Grate and Kitchen Range & Hot Water Apparatus Makers". See more detail at http://www.valentines.org.uk/valentines_mansion/range.html baily
Herbert Bale,
Kidderminster.
"HERBERT. BALE KIDD.R", written on a pump at Neen Sollars, Herefs and at Eastham, Worcs. The company also made iron railings. herbertbale
Bamford's of Uttoxeter. Makers of a "Universal" in Cardington, a "Model 2A" in Uttoxeter, and the name Bamford is reported to appear on a pump in Tushingham, Chester. Bamfords originally set up business in Uttoxeter as ironmongers, expanded into making pumps, taps and agricultural implements, and eventually grew into an international company of JCB fame. They also produced the "Bamford's Frost Protected Lift Pump" - one of which is at Lloc, Flint, and anothers at Stanton Fitzwarren, Swindon. There's another Bamford's pump at Hannington, Swindon, and Bamford Chain Pumps at Outgate, near Hawkshead, Cumbs, at Beamish Museum, Co. Durham, and in a garden in Guildford, Surrey. bamfords bamfords
Thomas Barber, Ryston Cottage, Lugwardine,
Herefs.
Written article records him (b.1861) as the last of four generations of wooden pump makers.  
Barrett Exall & Andrewes Iron Works,
Katesgrove, Reading,
Berks.
This large ironworks was founded in 1817/18, employing up to 360 people and occupying a 12 acre plot. They produced agricultural machinery and portable/fixed engines, winning many prize medals in Britain and Europe - including one at the 1851 Great Exhibition. In 1838 they provided ironwork for Brunel's new London-Bristol Railway. They produced a share (100) of the worlds' first production internal combustion engines, designed in 1860 by Lenoir. They also carried out much work for Palmer's local biscuit industry, including a steam-driven biscuit machine. The link with Palmer continued, and their pump at Sonning carries a dedication to Robert Palmer dated 1846. In 1877 Alfred Palmer, one-time High Sheriff of Berkshire, married the youngest daughter of William Exall, one of the iron foundry's partners. In 1864 the company changed its name to The Reading Iron Works Ltd, and ultimately went into liquidation during the agricultural slump of 1888.  
Beaven & Sons, Engineers, Gloucester & London. Found on a label on a pump in The Verzon Hotel, Trumpet, nr Ledbury, Herefs. The company seems now to have been taken over by the DIS (Design Installation Service) Group of Cheltenham.  
Bellow & Son, Leominster. Reportedly the manufacturers of a pump in Sarnesfield, Herefs. An 1879 directory records a John Bellow & Son as general ironmongers, plumbers, braziers, tin & iron plate workers, hot water fitters, & bar iron warehouse, 26 High Street. Another directory of 1897 records the firm at the same address as general ironmonger, bar, hoop and sheet iron merchants, plumbers, braziers, iron and tin-plate workers, dealers in oils, colours, implements, seeds, etc.  
J. H. Best. Apparently on a pump at Launceston.  
T. Buchanan,
Dunkeld.
Reported on a pump at Logierait, Perth & Kinloss.  
J. U. Bugler,
Ashford.
Inscribed on a pump at Shadoxhurst, Kent, with the date 1887. In 1861 Jonathan U. Bugler was stated to be an ironmonger who lived at Stoke House, Church St., Ashford. He was still there in 1882, when the Kentish Express & Ashford News of 11 March carried a report of John Udal Bugler of Ashford in bankruptcy at Canterbury court.  
G.E.Child,
Southwold.
Edmund Child established his Southwold iron and brass foundry in the early 1800s, in what's still known as Child's Yard. His son George Edmund took over the business in 1841, and in 1873 they built the pump in Southwold's Market Place.  
J.H.Clarke & Sons,
Pump Makers,
Well Sinkers,
Kenilworth.
Inscribed on a plaque in the possession of a contact in Warwickshire.  clarke
Clinton and Owens, Engineers. Apparently on a pump at Godalming.  
Coalbrookdale Foundry. Makers of pumps in Ickleford, Herts, Stanton-by-Dale, Notts, and Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd. Examples are shown in the Coalbrookdale Company Catalogue 1875, Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. See: http://www.darwincountry.org/explore/002496.html  
G. W. Coates, Plumber, Boroughbridge. Found on a pump in Coneythorpe, N. Yorks. coates
Joseph Cranstone, later the Hemel Hempstead Engineering Co. There's a pump in the High Street, Hemel Hempstead, which I'm told proclaims that it was manufactured by J. Cranstone. Joseph Cranstone's company, founded in 1798, had its works at 25, High Street, and remained in business until the Second World War.  
T. Curtis & Son, Sanitary Plumbers, Gainsborough Spotted on a solid lead pump with a willow plunger that was on sale on ebay.  
Dunn of Launceton. Reported on a lead pump head offered for sale over the Internet.  
Joseph Evans & Sons (Wolverhampton) Ltd.  By far the most common maker's name found today. Joseph Evans & Sons (Wolverhampton) Ltd, was founded in 1810 and traded until about 1964. From about 1890 they very conveniently put a lion rampant trademark on all of their pumps. The history of the firm is well presented at: http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/Museum/Engineering/Evans/evans20.htm. The company had depots in Cardiff, Sheffield, Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle-on-Tyne, and examples of their pumps are scattered all around England and Wales. lion lion

J. Fletcher,
Plumber,
Yate.
Seen on a pump at St. Lawrence's Well, Didmarton, Glos. fletcher
Fowler & Co,
Lambeth.
Reportedly the suppliers of a series of 14 pumps along a section of the old Bath Rd from London, of which two still survive at Poyle and Longford. Can't find out much about this company, although there's a painting of Lambeth dated 1836 which includes Fowler's Iron Works.  
Garrett & Son, Leiston, Saxmundham, Suffolk. Makers of a pump at Aldeburgh, Suffolk. The Richard Garrett Works at Leiston built steam tractors and traction engines, various cast metal products, and ammunition for World Wars I & II. There's a museum in Leiston dedicated to the history of the company. garrett
Garton & Jarvis, Manufs, Exeter. Reportedly on a pump in Chittlehampton, Devon. An 1850 trade directory lists them as ironmongers, machine makers, iron and brass founders and "hot water apparatus mfs. to her Majesty" at 190, High St., Exeter.  
Glenfield & Kennedy, Kilmarnock. Prolific manufacturers of ornamental ironwork & fountains, drinking fountains, taps, and the occasional pump. See: http://www.scottishironwork.org/. Their products usually carried their name and often featured a lion's head.  
J. & F. Hall Ltd,
Worcester.
Found on a pump on the Cowleigh Rd, just outside Malvern. J & F Hall was a well-known Worcester "ironmongers, iron merchants, and iron founders", whose 16th Century timber-framed premises at the junction of The Shambles and Church St were demolished in the 1960s, to be replaced by a hideous monstrosity.  hall
Hedges Foundry,
Bucklebury,
Berks.
Reportedly the manufacturer of two pumps in Holybrook Parish, Berks. Hedges was a local foundry, located on the banks of the River Pang, existing from the 18th century. In 1947 the firm was taken over by the Whatley brothers, who continued in business until about 1960.  
Herring Foundry,
Chertsey.
Seen on a cast iron pump trough in Chobham, Surrey. The company was established about 1815 at Gogmore Lane, Chertsey, establishing a good reputation both in the UK and abroad, and closed down in 1982. herring
Holrond. Indistinct name seen on a pump in Little Barrington, Gloucestershire. holrond 
W. Home, Shrewsbury. Reportedly the manufacturer of a pump in Downton, Shrops.  
G. Ingold, Bishop's Stortford. There are numerous pumps in Essex carrying this name - e.g., at Chrishall (5 pumps), Sheering (4), Matching (2), Great Canfield, Ridgewell, and Brewer's End, Takeley.

I've established that G. Ingold, Pump Makers and Well Sinkers, had their workshop in Apton Road in Bishop's Stortford, that the business was started by a J. Ingold in 1851 and that upon his death it was carried on by George Ingold.
 
H. Inston. Said to be on a pump at Redditch.

An 1818 Trade Directory lists William Inston, Pump Mkr, Lichfield St, Birmingham.
 
C. Keeley, Plumber, Harleston. Reported on a lead pump offered for sale on the Internet.

Charles Keeley advertised himself as "New and Secondhand Furnisher, Plumber and Decorator" and traded in the Old Market Place, Harleston, Norfolk.
 
Lambeth Brass & Iron Co.    
Lee, Howl & Co.  Lee, Howl, Ward & Howl was established in Tipton, Staffs, in 1880, and from this emerged in 1887 the firm of Lee, Howl & Co. Examples can be found all over England and Wales, second only in number to Joseph Evans pumps. There is a persistent rumour that back in the early days Joseph Evans's chief designer apparently defected to Lee Howl, and from this time onwards some of their pumps bore a striking similarity to those of Joseph Evans. An article in "Old Glory" magazine of March 1994 provided confirmation that Lee Howl pumps carried a flag trademark (to copy the lion would have added insult to injury). Click on this link to check out other ways of telling the two makes apart.

They also made the Paragon semi-rotary wing pump, and an example of this exists at St. Piran's Well, Trethevy, near Tintagel, Cornwall.

Bristol.
(a) Corroded maker's name on a pump at Upper Castle Coombe, Wilts.

(b) Name also present on pumps at Alveston and Olveston, Glos.

Llewellin & James were well-known bell founders, but were also described as being "brewery engineers" and makers of "philosophical instruments" - i.e., mathematical.

A. G. Mumford,
Culvert St Iron Works,
Colchester
"Engineer, Iron and Brass Founder and Boilermaker", who made deep well pumps. Found in an old catalogue.  
S. Owens & Co,
Hydraulic and General Engineers,
Whitefriars St, Fleet St,
London EC
"S. Owens & Co, Engineer, London" features on two pumps at Quainton, Bucks, and at one stage (2004) there was one at the Elvaston Castle Agricultural Collection, Derbs. Their catalogues show that they made "Pumps, Fire Engines, Garden Engines, Sluice Valves, Hydrants &c" and further references are made their supplying a 4 h.p. turbine (1870), Blake's Patent Direct-Acting Steam-Pumps, and a Lacours' patent direct-acting steam pile driver (1880s). There's a reference to Messrs. S. Owens & Co's engineering works at Arlesey, Beds, and to Owen's Pump Works closing there in 1925. Another pump is reported in Horningsham, Wilts, to have the maker's name "Owen & Son, Engineers, London" - I need to check this out.  owens
Parry Seen on a pump in Woodbridge, Suffolk and, reportedly, present on one in Ardleigh, Essex.  parry3
Petter & Edwards. Reported on a pump in East Coker, Soms. John Bazeley Petter had an ironmonger's business in Yeovil in 1865, and went into partnership with Henry F. Edgar a few years later to produce an expanded range of ironmongery, agricultural implements and machinery, including the "Nautilus" grate that was installed in Balmoral and Osborne House. Henry Edgar died in 1886, but Petter went on to develop oil engines which by 1912 were being widely exported. He established the Westland Foundry in 1914, which developed ultimately into Westland Aircraft. Read more at http://www.yeovilvision.co.uk/data/57.htm.  
Phillips & Hopwood, Engine Makers. Built the Exchange Pump, Cornhill, London. Samuel Phillips was making fire engines by 1760; in 1797 the firm became Phillips & Hopwood; in 1811 it was James Hopwood; by 1818 it was Hopwood & Tilley; by 1825 Tilley & Co; and around 1853 Shand, Mason & Co. Merryweather & Sons Ltd took them over in 1928.  
Portnell, Wincanton. Reportedly the makers of a pump in North Cheriton, Soms.  
Colin Pullinger,
Selsey,
West Sussex.
A commemorative plaque records him (1814-94) as: "Undertaker, wooden pump maker, repairer of umbrellas, letter writer and clerk to the Selsey Sparrow Club".  
Trademark currently used by the Puteus Company of Tönisvorst Germany. Seen on a pump in Thorpe Salvin, Yorkshire, in Tewkesbury, Glos, in Trefin and Letterston in Pembrokeshire, and in Llanfallteg, Carmarthenshire. Some of these are undoubtedly old pumps, and one clearly states "Made in England", so I've not yet got to the bottom of why a German company is currently using the trademark.  P Logo
Rankin & Co., Ballymena. Seen on an old pump for sale at a country fair. Irish manufacturer? Chinese versions exist.  
Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries,
Agricultural Engineers,
Ipswich.
"Ransomes" or "Ransome & Sims" reported on pumps in Ridgewell, Essex, and in Somerlayton and Monks Eleigh, Suffolk. A book has been written by Brian Bell about this company - ISBN 1-903366-15-1.

R & J Reeves, Bratton Ironworks,
Bratton,
Wilts.
"Bratton Reeves" is to be found on a chain pump at Barrington Court, a National Trust property nr Ilminster, Somerset. The firm was well-established by the mid-1800s, and surviving catalogues show a wide range of products. They were major employers in the village until business declined and they finally closed in 1970. More information available at: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getcom.php?id=27.  
Richmons and Sons, Chelmsford. Reportedly the makers of a pump in Southminster, Essex.   
E & H Roberts, Britannia Ironworks, Deanshanger. For 100 years the Roberts Iron Foundry of Deanshanger (Britannia Ironworks) were very successful agricultural implement makers and engineers. They went into liquidation in 1927.  Not found one of their pumps yet, but two of their water pillars can be found in Shenington, Oxon.

The Safety Water Elevator Company,
Dunstable.
Found on a pump in Grittleton, Wilts, and St. James South Elmham, Suffolk; apparently there's one at Cockayne Hatley, Beds, as well. The Safety Water Elevator Co had offices and showrooms at 104, Leadenhall St., London, but their factory was in Dunstable, Beds. In 1905 they advertised the "Simple, strong, but ingenious Jonet's Patent" pump as being suitable for wells 10-1000 ft deep, and for a price of £10. It's not actually a pump, and works on the principle of buckets on a chain, operated by a handle.See: http://www.fotolibra.com/gallery/52110/water-elevator-advertisment-1905/.
The Dunstable and District Local History Society has researched these devices and provided me with a detailed explanation of how they work. Thanks!

William Shalders,
Hydraulic Engineer,
Bank Plain,
Redwell St.,
Norwich.
The makers of Shalders' Patent Fountain Pump, examples of which are to be found in Norwich, Cringleford and Hethersett, Norfolk. Advertisements for these and other pumps produced by the company appeared in White’s 1845 Directory and Gazetteer of Norfolk, Hunt & Co's 1850 Directory of E. Norfolk & parts of Suffolk, and Kelly’s 1853 Directory for Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The company also exhibited at the Great Exhibition. shalders
Sigma Group, Czech Republic. Seen on a pump in the old greenhouse at Whitland Abbey, Carms. The trident is the trademark of the Sigma Group, of the Czech Republic, who make a wide range of modern electrically operated pumps of all kinds. Their web site confirms that they've been around since 1868. But how did this pump find its way to Whitland abbey?

An otherwise identical pump, marked "NP75", but without the trident, is still made by the Kovoplast Company of the Czech Republic, who also make other traditional village pumps.


A Slovakian firm, Bella, deals in these pumps and kindly provided me with the above information.

J. Smith, Whitchurch. Reportedly the manufacturer of a pump in Prees, Shrops.  
W. H. Smith, Whitchurch. Reportedly the makers of a pump in Bickley, Shropshire.  
Sollory,
Nottingham.
"SOLLORY", "Plummers" [sic] and a date - 1826 - found on a lead pump at Wollaton Hall, Notts. Further research shows an entry for "Sollory John, Plumber & Glazier, Bridlesmith Gate" in Hodson's 1814 Directory for Nottingham. "Henry Sollary [sic] & Son, plumbers, glaziers, gas, bar & steam fitters, brass founders" appear in various directories for Mount St, Nottingham, in 1876, 1885 and 1891, and in St. James St in 1915. A James Sollory, plumber, is listed in the 1881 Census for Nottingham. sollory

John Warner & Sons, Crescent Foundry, Cripplegate, London. "Warners, London" seen on the spout of this wrecked pump in Baulking, Oxon, and on one in Brockham, Surrey. "Warners Patent London" appears on the handle of a pump that I've acquired. Pumps at St.Lawrence, Isle of Wight, and Ixworth, Suffolk, carry the words "Warners London" on their caps, and one in Houghton, Cambs, carries the inscription "John Warner & Sons, Hydraulic Engineers, Crescent, Cripplegate, London". Other Warners pumps reportedly in Penally, Pembs and Merriott, Soms.

Elsewhere it's stated that they were a brass, iron and bell founder (and not just any old bell founder - in 1856 they cast Big Ben), making pumps, horse gears, garden furniture and ornaments and fire-fighting equipment at the Crescent Foundry, Cripplegate. Also given as Spitalfields.

Whatley & Co.,
Pewsey.
Seen on a pump in Shrivenham, Oxon. Oatley & Morris were iron founders, engineers and agricultural implement makers, who set up business in 1855 in Wootton Rivers. See: http://www.british-history.ac.uk.

They became Oatley & Whatley and in about 1870, as Whatley and Hosier, they moved from Wootton Rivers to Pewsey to set up an Iron and Brass Foundry & Water Engineering company. Their successors nowadays are Whatley & Co (Pewsey) Ltd, who are apparently still in the Water Engineering business.

Listed in trade directories over the period 1857-1860 as iron, wood & lead pump-maker.  
Charles Winn & Co.,
Birmingham.
Found on a pump in Mickleton, Glos, and Lambley, Notts. Charles Winn & Co were engineers and brassfounders. They seem to have been established in about 1869, and produced gas and steam fittings, plumbers' brasswork, beer engines and firefighting equipment. At http://www.oldcopper.org/ there is reference to their trademark being found on the bottom of a heavy brass bowl. Their 1897 catalogue offered safety valves for sale and they were latterly quoted as being one of Britain's biggest valve manufacturers, specialising in high performance butterfly valves. They were still in business in 1976, when they moved across Birmingham from Communication Row to Bordesley. They became part of the Delta Metal Group at some stage, but eventually closed down in 1999, their valves continuing to be made under their name by Hindle Cockburns of Leeds. winn winn
