A Grade-II listed flywheel and single-throw crank pump in a
timber and tile pump house in Edmondsham, Dorset. Thanks to Mike Faherty for
the photo on the left and to Shawn Shaw for all the others.The lead spout is
set in a stone block which bears the inscriptions "H.M", "1884" and "H.E.M".
The "H.M" refers to Hector Monro, the local squire at that time, and "H.E.M" is
his son Hector Edmond Monro, whose initials also appear on some of the old
estate houses in the village. Under the roof there's an inscription "G.M.
1931", which may refer to a latter-day member of the family. |
