This one
at Aston Square, near Middleton, Shrops, seems to be cast iron with a wooden
case, but unusually also with a wooden spout. There's a long inscription on a
plaque just behind it, but it's unreadable in this photo. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk. |

Wistanstow, Shrops. This pump sits
in its neatly fenced off area next to the footpath to the village hall. The
handle moves freely but, despite much effort by me, no water
appears. Markings: Flag trademark and the inscription 3 IN - referring to the diameter of the downpipe, I assume. Manufacturer: Lee Howl. |
