Sadly abandoned pump in the pretty
and otherwise very neat village of Little Coxwell, Oxon. Up to at least 1925
there was a wooden-boxed pump there, as you can see at
http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.uk/search/reference.asp?index=1&main_query=little%20coxwell&theme=&period=&county=&district=&place _name=&imageUID=45984&=&JS=True and http://www.littlecoxwell.com/postcards/coxwell-village-pump.php. By the 1950s there was reportedly no pump there at all, so at some stage effort must have been made to re-instate it. Markings: Lion. Manufacturer: Joseph Evans. |
