Manufacturer: Bamford's.

cowbridge, 2023 Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan. Thanks to Robert Guy for the photos. The main pump has a chained down handle, whereas the delivery pipe from the semi-rotary (handle missing), seems only to lead to the ground at the base of the main pump. I can see no logic to this, but is it possible that the delivery pipe has simply slipped down from its original position? Subsequently it has also been suggested that perhaps the semi-rotary was added in order to prime the older pump.

Markings: None visible on main pump, and obliterated by layers of paint on the semi-rotary.

Manufacturer: Unk.
