A nicely preserved pump on the Grimsby Rd., at Binbrook, Lincs. There's an inscribed plaque just below it, reading: | |
| THE
GRIMSBY ROAD PUMP This 19th century pump was built on a ramp to enable water carts to fill up more easily. Hill farmers came to the village regularly to get water needed at harvest time for steam threshing machines as well as for brewing to quench the thirst of their workers. The rings in the brickwork were used to tether horses. The pump was refurbished in 1996 with funds provided by East Lindsey District Council, Rural Action and Binbrook Parish Council. |

This pump at Coleby,
Lincs, has a single handle, but two fulcrums and two spouts - is this simply
another dual-spouted pump or something more complex? The wellhead dates to the
18th century, the pump was installed in 1896, the well was deepened in 1905,
and it remained in continuous use until standpipes were installed in
1932. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk. |
