Two hefty
pumps opposite the Community Centre, near the castle at Beaumaris, Anglesey,
which were apparently moved from their original location by the outer moat wall
of the castle. Photograph on far left by Malcolm King, and the others by Roger
Howse - thanks, both. Roger reports that there's no mechanism inside the cast
iron cases - which makes you wonder why the handles are chained down. A visit
in 2014 showed the pumps looking very smart with a new coat of black
paint Markings: None, although there's a date, 1867, carved in a stone set in the wall behind the pumps. Manufacturer: Unk. |
