A pleasant
setting for the pump at Soulby, Cumbs. Photograph obtained, with permission,
from http://www.crossbarviewfarm.co.uk/.
In addition, John Hurst was able to take a close-up of the maker's plate, which
appears in the "Makers" section of this website - thanks, John. I've read that
the pump was erected in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden
Jubilee. Markings: "L Airey, Plumber, Kendal". Manufacturer: L. Airey of Kendal. |

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. |
