This very
smart pump at Wigton, Cumbs, features a substantial bucket stand. Photographs
supplied by John Hurst - thanks, John. It and the nearby cast iron gas lamp
were removed from their original location in the Market Place as long ago as
1872 and kept in storage until their re-instatement in 1924. The pump used to
carry a plaque which read "Ye Olde Wigton Pump Re-erected 1924", but
unfortunately this is now lost. It turns out that both the pump and the gas
lamp have a literary connection.
Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk, although there's part of an inscription just visible on the nearby lamp which refers to an ironfounders. |

Wreay, Cumbria. Photos supplied by John Hurst - thanks, John. The nearby village information board states the following: | |||
| "The large acquifer below Wreay has been exploited since before
Roman times. It dictated the location of the crossroads which later became the
village of Wreay. Past excavations in St. Mary's churchyard uncovered a tiled
watercourse which flows all the way to Carlisle Cathedral. St. Ninian, passing
through Carlisle, remarked on the wonder of the fountains. The source of these
was at Wreay. A well on this site, and later a pump, was the sole water supply to the village until well into the 20th century. A piped supply was then laid to a tap on a standpipe which replaced the pump. The cottagers and school pupils carried their drinking water in buckets from this tap until early in the 1930s, when piped water was laid on to the houses. The present pump was erected on the original site by the people of Wreay in 1988. It is connected via the original bore to the acquifer and works well, requiring no priming. Alas, with modern intensive use of land, water no longer meets the requirements of the Health Authorities and the pump must remained chained." |
