Hampstead Norreys, West Berks (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).
 

	A flywheel and crank pump in Church St., just opposite the church. It's securely padlocked and chained, its operating rod is missing, and it has a large stopcock at the bottom of a very tall delivery pipe. Markings: "7/3" on the side of the downpipe. Manufacturer: Unk.
	This hefty flywheel and triple throw crank pump is further along Church St., alongside the Pang stream near the White Hart. At the time of my visit I'd not seen one like this before. It's good to read that as of 2014 there had been some significant restoration of the shelter. The wooden shelter carries a board with the following inscription:
	THIS WELL WAS GIVEN TO THE PARISH OF HAMPSTEAD-NORRIS BY HARRY WEBER ESQ.E OF HAWKRIDGE. 1903
	Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk.
