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

There are more pumps in Lyme Regis than one might imagine, although most are well-hidden and difficult to photograph. Online there's some very detailed background to the local water supplies - see Item 11, "The Water Industry".

	On Silver St., Lyme Regis, Dorset Markings: Flag and "3IN" Manufacturer: Lee Howl.
	Off Silver St., Lyme Regis, Dorset. Markings: Lion and "3IN". Manufacturer:Joseph Evans.
	Lyme Regis, Dorset. A telephoto shot - you can just make out that it's a pitcher pump. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk.
	Lyme Regis, Dorset - another telephoto shot, and a shadow in exactly the wrong place. By 2023 it had disappeared and a new house was being built on the plot. Markings: Unk. Manufacturer: Unk.
	There's a house on the sea front which has some very fancy lead rainwater features - this photo shows only a small section of it. But if you look closer, what seems at first sight to be a lead rainwater hopper also has a spout, and furthermore also has what looks very much like a traditional lead "rat's tail". So is this a pump component which has found a new use, or were they produced in such a way as to be dual-purpose? Markings: Some floral decoration - none other. Manufacturer: Unk.
