The pump on Cornhill
in Allestree, Derbs, is the best preserved of the many wells and pumps that
served Allestree over many years. It was restored in Silver Jubilee Year (1977)
by St. Edmund's School PTA, and the area around it very neatly refurbished in
2007. I'm told by Allestree Local Study Group that when it was in use it would
routinely be locked at 8pm, and if there was a summer drought the Council would
fasten it up with a rope - villagers had sometimes to queue up to 7pm to
collect water for the next day. My thanks to Mavis Roadley for the photo and
background information. Markings: "1975" and an inscribed rose motif. Manufacturer: Unk. |

Interesting colour
scheme - the village pump set by a planted bank at Great Cubley, Derbs. An
entry in English Heritage's Lists of Buildings of Special Architectural and
Historic Interest states "the initials HAC suggest it was gift of Henry Arthur
Clowes, owner of the Cubley Estate at that time", and also that at the
millennium the pump was restored, and a cap added. Markings: "HAC 1902" and "Bamfords Frost Protected Lift Pump". Manufacturer: J.C.Bamfords, of Uttoxeter. |

There's a large welded crack along the barrel, and the Pump Cap looks to be
non-standard to me. Photo supplied by Peter Barr - thanks,

Nothing fancy about
this no-nonsense pump in the centre of Whitwell, Derbyshire. It's fully encased
in wood - and even the handle is wooden. The stone troughs around it look old,
and there are photos in
existence showing the pump as a
busy centre of
attention in years gone by. The same web site has an interesting
history of the water supply in
the area, and records that in 1897 there were 39 pumps in the village.
Apparently there's still a line of them in the High St - must take another
look. Markings: None found. Manufacturer: Unk. |
