This one's at the
Wymondham Heritage
Museum, Wymondham, Norfolk, having been relocated from the old turnpike
(see similar ones at Norwich, Cringleford and Hethersett). My thanks to the
very helpful people at the museum, who confirmed that William Shalder of
Norwich designed the pump and that it was cast in the Norwich foundry of James
Watt. Markings: On its base it carries the words "WATTS NORWICH.". Manufacturer: Watts - to a Shalders design. |
