Whitwell (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

whitwell Nothing fancy about this no-nonsense pump in the centre of Whitwell, Derbyshire. It's fully encased in wood - and even the handle is wooden. The stone troughs around it look old, and there are photos in existence showing the pump as a busy centre of attention in years gone by. The same web site has an interesting history of the water supply in the area, and records that in 1897 there were 39 pumps in the village. Apparently there's still a line of them in the High St - must take another look.
