There
are two pumps close by each other near the church at Ashampstead, West Berks -

to Margaret Young for the photo, right), the other being a modern installation.
Thanks to Mike Woolford for the other photos, far left and far
right. Markings: The older pump has no markings. The new one carries a "P". Manufacturer: The new pump is by Puteus of Germany. |

A neat flywheel and crank pump on
the green, next to the village pond, at East Ilsley, West Berks. And it WORKS!
The Working Barrel seems to be just below ground level, with the stuffing box
visible above ground - and leaking profusely. But it works - congratulations to
the village for keeping it going. Their local historical society tells me that
the 80' borehole below the pump was sunk as late as 1934, after severe drought
problems in the village. Markings: "F 11", and "1½". Manufacturer: Unk. |
