gloucester One of only three we've found to date in the city of Gloucester. Photographs by Roger Howse - thanks, Rog.

Markings: On the barrel there's a roundel which was obliterated by multiple payers of paint. Roger Howse returned to the pump and with the permission of the owner removed these layers, to reveal "Joseph Evans & Sons, Wolverhampton" around the edge, letters making the name "Culwell" within this and a probable "E" in the centre. This is a known but rare early trademark of that company, pre-dating their famous "Lion".

Manufacturer: Joseph Evans. 		 gloucester
