[Thanks to Bob Taylor for all the photos.]

ayot st lawrence, 2015 The double throw flywheel and crank pump in the Well House at Shaw's Corner (NT), Ayot St. Lawrence, Herts. The house was built in 1902 as the New Rectory, but let to George Bernard Shaw and his wife Charlotte Shaw from 1906. After 14 years of living there, they finally bought the house, and many of his famous plays were written in a revolving hut in the garden. The flywheel has a handle but the pump also seems to have a belt drive.
