For your visual enjoyment, I bring you the Cincinnati Water Works old Ohio river pumping station magically mirrored on itself.
Herringfleet Windpump (Walker's Mill)
Location
Grid reference: TM 465 977
OS sheet: 134
About 5 miles north west of Lowestoft. Access by footpath only from B1074 between St Olaves and Somerleyton (about half mile). Small car park beside B1074.
A smock drainage mill, built in the 1820s and worked by marshmen until the 1950s. The last pumping mill of its type, with cloth-spread sails and a cap turned by tailpole and winch. Water is lifted from the dyke by the external scoopwheel. The mill pumps on open days. Unspoilt marshland setting. 1950s diesel pump adjacent.
Herringfleet Mill built in 1820 is a smock mill and was used to pump water from the surrounding marshland.
It is in disrepair at the moment but there is work planned to replace the two missing sails.

The orphans at Luchenza Orphanage learn to use the water pump at an early age. Clean water is vital for health. Thanks to donations from the UK the Orphanage has a clean mains water supply to drink.
The swell, tide and sunrise all lined up perfectly to allow me to get this shot. It is a location that has been covered plenty of times but I was keen to add one of my own to the collection. An icon of Newcastle.
Friendship, NY
This building was built specifically to house a new Steam Pumper for the town's Fire Dept. during the oil boom days.
The building has been modified to accommodate an ambulance, so the original arched door that matched the windows was replaced with this nasty modern square thing. The building is still wonderful though.
The town stills owns the original pumper, which still works and is hauled out once a year to spray water into the air. The pumper is also still registered as operational fire fighting apparatus.
P.S. In Charleston, there are still many pumper stalls, complete with grooved thresholds to give the horses traction as they hurried out of the building with such a load. Several of these buildings are haunted. It's true, though I'm not sure if by horses or people. This is a growing problem, as the U.S. population migrates southward, so do the ghosts from the upper mid-west and the northeast. Charleston is experiencing a mixture of nocturnal paranormal accents as yankee poltergeists mingle with their southern counterparts.
It is said that the ghost that once haunted this Friendship, NY building is now wreaking havoc with weary firemen in Charleston, but that has not been confirmed.
Well not quite... Under the pier that supports the pipes (top right) carrying sand and seawater that is pumped from the south side of the Tweed River (here) up to the north or Gold Coast side. The purpose is to replenish the northern drift of sand impeded by the rock walls (groynes) which keep the Tweed River mouth navigable. The supply of sand is vital to the maintenance of the Gold Coast surf beaches.
The pipe on the left is disused. But what a superb afternoon it was!
This is a small part of a wall that surrounds a big power substation that services Hsinchu. I might have to go back at night, because I'm not sure if it's just some solid lighting or has some animation involved.
One sees many of these wind pumps in the Overberg region, between Robertson and Stanford, in the Western Cape. Finding three of them together was a bonus…
Have a great weekend, everyone. 😊
HFF!
Looking back towards the North side of Pump from atop Tim Jones Peak today. Stellar morning in the mountains. grantmatticephoto 📷

Turning the crank moved a chain with little buckets attached down into water in a cistern or well and back up to the spout. GEM is another brand--new Cincinnati GEM hand pumps are available from Lehman's (the current manufacturer) and Walmart.

Getting it to where it needs to be.
It takes some serious pumping power to get the concrete to the second floor and beyond.
If these aren't the oldest petrol pumps in Brisbane they're certainly the oldest that I've seen in service. They're at Clayfield Automatic & Mechanical Services on Sandgate Rd, Clayfield.
Hands up who has heard of Kempley Green! I'd not be surprised if no-one has as it is in the middle of nowhere in Gloucestershire. The only thing of note it is anywhere near is the M50 motorway but it doesn't even have access to that! There isn't even a B road anywhere nearby and the nearest A road is about three miles away. So I think this garage could have safely been described as remote, at least when it existed. It's all gone of course, replaced with one modern house with a double garage.
Back in the day it was a small village garage with little chance for more than one car to fill up at a time, not that I suspect locals would have been queuing up here for petrol. Other things of note, the pumps in the last Butler livery but the pole sign not yet updated, the sign for the Butler Fuels Collection and the cars, a Mondeo to the left and a Rover to the right either side of a Renault Traffic van and a chocolate brown Morris Marina by the looks of it. The car right at the back looks interesting but I can't work out what it is.
Here's the Streetview for what its worth.
