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

[Thanks to Sarah Davis for all the photos.]

luxulyan, 2019 At St. Cyor's Well, Luxulyan, Cornwall. On the right is a photo of the former holy well, which is now sadly dry. During the construction of a mineral railway to the south of the village in 1873-4 the stream which supplied the well was diverted for the cutting for the tramway and this resulted in the water to the well drying up. The railway company installed a pump within the well enclosure to retrieve water from a deeper source. This the pump shown on the left, although most of its workings are now missing.

Markings: "PECD" stamped on the fulcrum.

Manufacturer: Unk.
