Worcester, Worcs (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).
 

	In the yard of the Tudor Cafe, Friar St., Worcester, which incorporates a museum. The pump fittings include the remains of lead piping and a tastefully-placed plastic rat! A noticeboard next to the pump recalls the story of the Broad St pump in Soho, notes that this pump is situated very close to the sewerage system, and reflects that over the period 1863-64 Worcester lost 250 people to cholera. An oval plaque on the cylinder carries the inscription:
	JAMES WARD (WORCESTER) LTD ENGINEERS WORCESTER
	Markings: None other. Manufacturer: James Ward.

This one's in the Bevere area of Worcester, and the owners have tastefully replaced the missing cap with an aluminium replica. Photograph supplied by Peter Willis - thanks, Peter. Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk.
