coleby This pump at Coleby, Lincs, has a single handle, but two fulcrums and two spouts - is this simply another dual-spouted pump or something more complex? The lower spout has what seems to be a bung in it. The wellhead dates to the 18th century, the pump was installed in 1896, the well was deepened in 1905, and it remained in continuous use until water pillars were installed in 1932 (see one in the background).
