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.
Scaldwell is a pretty little village in the west of Northamptonshire that is a haven of peace and quiet. But it wasn't always the case. Up until the early 1960s it was in the middle of an area with a number of iron ore quarries, and these were linked by railways and ropeways. Steam engines were always on the move. But the countryside has been restored and now you wouldn't even know that they had once been there. Pictured is the village green with its pump. On the other side of the wall behind the pump there were once drinking troughs for animals, but these troughs fell into disuse and have now been filled in.
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.
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!

The Beam Engine House at Crossness Pumping Station, Belvedere. Built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and opened in 1865. This fine piece of Victorian architecture was once nicknamed "The Cathedral on The Marshes", and was one of the first sewerage pumping stations to operate in London..in conjuntion with its close neighbour opposite, on the north of the Thames at Beckton. These stations would collect sewage from the whole of London, and store in on-site reservoirs to be pumped directly into the Thames at its outgoing ebb tide, and onwards to the sea. Thank god this does'nt still happen today..although at this time was a much needed operation to combat London's sewage problem, and the health effects it caused. Joseph also lead the building of 850 miles of large bore sewer pipes, linking the basic system of 'direct to river' outfall, this new system would carry sewage away from London and onward to Beckton and Crossness, and still exists below us today!!

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…

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.
Getting it to where it needs to be.
It takes some serious pumping power to get the concrete to the second floor and beyond.
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.
