… Museum of Steam Power and Land Drainage. Heritage Museum showing how steam pumps were used to pump water from the Somerset Levels to help prevent flooding.
I drove by this place for many years. It's out in the country not near any town. It has not been inhabited for a long time. I posted this on Facebook and learned that it was once an old schoolhouse. Really neat place.
Old pump labelled Red Jacket from Davenport, Iowa.

Taken at the Gimson Arts and Crafts cottage in the Charnwood Forest, UK. The cottage has been renovated by The National Trust and it is beautiful. I shouldn't think the ladder is a permanent feature, but even it looked artistically placed at the time!
Mepal Pumping Station seen from the drove road, with the leaning telegraph pole, open fields, and low road line giving the building its place within the working Fenland landscape.

Horsey Winpump
The present structure was built in 1912 on the foundations of the 18th-century Horsey Black Mill.
The windpump was working until it was struck by lightning in 1943. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1948 from the Buxton Family and has been restored. The mill's damaged sails were removed in 1956, and replacement sails and fantail were installed in 1962. The Great Storm of 1987 caused further damage, and repair works were required before the building could reopen to visitors in 1990.
The Buxton family continue to manage the Horsey estate, emphasising nature conservation. Because of this, the estate has become an internationally important wildlife site.
The Windpump has recently succumbed to the ravages of time and the elements and the sails were removed again in 2014.
They must have been repaired again as they are on the wind pump if not working.
Pump House, Beacons Reservoir, Brecon Beacons. Lovely little building which sends the water on it's way!
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.
This pump was set on an old well circa 1800 and was until 1926 the only public water supply for this part of Bearsted in Kent

These days, water pumps like this one are rare and ones that still work even more so. I remember using one as a child! It certainly makes me very grateful to have hot & cold running water in my house!
The petrol pumps from Lofoten make a reappearance, they had to at some point plus as its a lockdown photography has rightfully taken a back burner.
Thanks for looking :)
