This one, under a tiled octagonal brick-built shelter in the middle of the green at Ardeley, Herts, is a bit unusual. The flywheel is connected to a single throw crank via a 4:1 gearing mechanism, and below this is what I can only guess is a counterweight - although how it is connected is not obvious from the photo.

A very ornate bulbous pump under a substantial wooden shelter at Watton-at-Stone, apparently erected in 1894 by Abel Smith of Woodhall Park as a memorial to his son Lt. Gen. P. Smith. Abel Smith owned practically all of the parish of Bramfield in those days.
