The tiny pump in Hemyock, Devon, is completely overwhelmed by the elaborate cast iron wellhouse - complete with street lamp - to which it's attached. Although the pump has lost its handle, the structure seems to be well cared for, despite signs of it needing a new paint job. Thanks to Rob for the photographs. One panel carries an inscription: |  |
||
| IN COMMEMORATION OF THE GLORIOUS REIGN OF VICTORIA. THE CORONATION OF EDWARD VII. AND RESTORATION OF PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA. 1902 FEAR GOD HONOR THE KING |

This little pump is on the green at Iddesleigh, Devon. Photograph
supplied by Richard Holladay - thanks, Richard. Markings: Difficult to make out from the photo, but I have to admit that it looks very much like a "B" in a hexagon - although the contributor thinks it might be in a diamond. Manufacturer: The pump is a typical "P" pump (i.e., the well-known trademark used by Puteus), but the possible "B" presents a problem! |

The old
stone pump in Fore St., Winkleigh, Devon. It was erected in 1832 when the Great
Reform Act was passed, and carries the names of the men behind the reform - the
Lords Grey, Brougham, Russell and Althorp. It was brought back to working order
in 1996, and I assume that it's still working today. What's more, it was
blessed during Winkleigh Fun Day, 2008. A panel behind the pump carries some
more detail, and at the nearby Village Hall there's a
commemorative plaque, one of a series of 26
produced in 1994 by potter Harry Juniper - my thanks to Richard Holladay for
supplying these close-up photos. Markings: "1832" and the names of the Lords. Manufacturer: Unk. |
