Ashby de la Launde, Lincs. Photograph supplied by Joan Deane - thanks, Joan. The pump carries an inscription: |  |
|
| ERECTED BY N H REEVE IN COMMEMORATION OF QUEEN VICTORIA'S JUBILEE JUNE 1887 |
|||
| "N. H. Reeve" refers to Capt (later Col) Neville Henry Reeve, who inherited the Ashby-de-la-Launde estate from Reverend John William King in 1875 and took the name Reeve-King. | |||

and "LONDON" on the spout. Manufacturer: John Warner & Sons, London. |

Aswarby, Lincs. The
outlet at bucket level is sealed with a threaded cap, chained to the drain, in
order that water could be routed to the long vertical delivery pipe. But where
did that pipe go? Best bet is that it might have had a flexible pipe connected
to the top end in order to fill a water cart, or similar. Thanks to John Hurst
for the photos. Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk, but looks very similar to a Warners model. |

Denton,
Lincs. In September 2018, the inhabitants commemorated those who had fallen in the First World War by holding various events around the village. The organising group decided to make another lasting memorial to those men, in addition to the one that already stands inside the village church and it was decided to recreate one of the old water pumps that many years ago served the village. Funds were raised during a Heritage Open Day event, and additional resources were granted by InvestSK, a local council-based body. Having sourced an old pump and trough from a local architectural reclamation business, work commenced early in 2020 to restore the site at the top of Main Street where an original but long-gone pump had stood. The construction of the new wooden cladding and adaptation of the pump to fit was expertly carried out by long term resident, businessman and stalwart, the late Alan Geeson. Other groundworks were completed by Belvoir Landscapes. Thanks to Bob Harvey for telling us about the pump in the first place (see photo on the right), Graham Leverton for the above information, and to John Hurst for a subsequent visit to the location and the photo on the left. Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk. |

Fully-enclosed in a
wooden "shed", this strange contraption is at Irby-upon-Humber, NE Lincs. There
are three spouts visible on the front face of the shed, one at high level and
two at low level. One of the low level spouts seems to be fitted with a bracket
acting as a bucket hook. On one side of the shed there's a large handle in a
vertical slot, and also a rotary handle. The vertical handle doesn't seem to be
connected to anything internally, but the rotary handle is connected through a
gear wheel to the crank of a twin-throw pump, visible through the wire front of
the housing. The other end of the crank also protrudes from the wooden housing.
Thanks to John Hurst for the photos. Markings: None seen. Manufacturer: Unk. |

The pump at Pointon, Lincs, was in a bad state in 2000 (see the geograph image to the right). Some years later, when Joan Deane sent in the photo (far right, thanks, Joan), despite a different colour scheme things were even worse. Subsequently, in 2012, it was refurbished, and in 2015 it still looked smart (thanks to Mike Woolford for the photo on the left). There's a stone to the left of the pump, stating: | Click here to see pic I've taken from www.geograph. org.uk's site. |
