shorwell In the garden of the Crown Inn, Shorwell, this pump is identical to ones at Downend and the Old Coastguard Station, East Cowes.

Markings: An entwined anchor and rope.

Manufacturer: With the exception of the emblem, this pump is essentially identical to a Macfarlane's No.1, made by Walter MacFarlane & Co., of Glasgow. At the moment it's only a guess, but could it have been made under an Admiralty contract?
