This pump at Kea, Cornwall, has clearly been repaired at some time
in the past with various handy pieces of scrap metal, but the role of the piece
of flexible hosing is difficult to fathom out. An earlier photo, taken in 2006
and
on
the Historic England website, shows this hosing as feeding directly into
the trough, and not in any way being connected to the pump. So has it now been
incorporated into the pump, or is it just a matter of a strange camera angle
playing tricks? Thanks to Sarah Davis for the photos. Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk. |

 |
| TO COMMEMORATE THE PEACE 1902 GIVEN BY ROSE LADY GRAVES SAWLE |
|||
| The date
of 1902 must relate to the Second Boer War. Rose, Lady Graves Sawle (née Paynter, 1818-1914), was the wife of Sir Charles Brune Graves-Sawle, 2nd Baronet (1816-1903), who was a JP and served as MP for Bodmin 1852-1857. They lived in Restormel, Cornwall. Extracts from her diaries were published under the title "Sketches from the Diaries of Rose, Lady Graves Sawle, 1833-1896" and it is accepted that they contain a character who was the prototype for Quilp in Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop (1841). Writer and poet Walter Savage Landor (1775 -1864) wrote many poems dedicated to her. |
