Type and Period (1)
- WATER PUMP (19th Century - 1800 AD to 1899 AD)
Description
Presumed village pump still extant at NGR. Cast iron. Maker's name on shaft: G. Owens and Co. Engineers, London. Joint between handle & piston broken, otherwise in good condition. Small square enclosure immediately adjacent to pump on w presumably provides access to the well (B1).
C19 metal pump, complete with handle. This is an attractive structure that adds to the visual
attraction of the street. It is interesting in terms of our understanding of the role water sources
played in the original development of the village as well as the development of water and sanitation
during the 19th and 20th centuries. This pump is one of a group of three similar pumps located
throughout the village. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (B2).
