Framlingham (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

Large double-spouted pump in the centre of Framlingham, with a compound handle, acorn finial, damaged lower spout, and an inspection door. It's featured on their town sign, and is also waymarked on the Town Trail. Photos supplied by John Gow - thanks, John. A photo from c1900 has come to light of the same pump in the same location, complete with horse-drawn water cart. Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk.

	This interesting pump is set prominently in the centre of the neat Hitcham Almshouses in New Rd. Unfortunately, it's also a handy place to keep their dustbins, so the otherwise rather elegant effect is spoilt! Carries a coat of arms which is also used by the local Sir Robert Hitcham's School - so it must follow that it's his coat of arms. It has an inscription:
	WE 1835 T
	Markings: None other. Manufacturer: Unk.
