 THIS WELL WAS
DIGGED IN THE YEAR OF GRACE
1853
IN THANKFUL COMMEMORATION IN THE ABSENCE OF
CHOLERA
FOR THE COMMON USE OF THE
PEOPLE
AND TO PROVOKE THEM TO
CLEANLINESS
OH WELLS BLESS YE THE LORD PRAISE HIM AND
MAGNIFY HIM FOR EVER
Markings: None other reported.

Manufacturer: The pump is very similar to S. Owens's "Enriched Gothic Pump Case", and - apart from the plinth - is practically identical to a pump in the Market Place, Enfield.
