At a farm near
Criccieth, Gwynedd. Reportedly there has been a pump here since at least 1900,
and a well far earlier than this. Markings: Completely obliterated, either by excess paint or possibly a weld. Manufacturer: The handle design points to it being a Joseph Evans model. |

An interesting cast iron village pump at Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd, built by public subscription and commemorating the birth of a new son to the Williams-Wynn family. There's an almost identical pump to this in Stanton-by-Dale, Derbs. Thanks to Dave Hunt for the 2017 photos, which show that the pump has been given a smart new coat of paint. It carries an inscription: | |
COFEB Y CYHOEDD AM ENEDIGAETH ETIFEDD WYNNSTAY IONAWR 25 1891 |
Translation: MEMORIAL TO THE PUBLIC ON THE BIRTH OF THE WYNNSTAY HEIR JANUARY 25 1891 |

Almost
buried in a private garden at Y Felinheli, Gwynedd. Photos by Roger Howse -
thanks, Rog. The close-up on the right shows a Patent Office Registered Design

although it's hard to make out the detail on the casting. See
if you can work it out. Markings: "C. Winn & Co., Birmingham" and "1461". Manufacturer: Unk. |
