Replica display of a typical Victorian water supply - H.A.N.W.E

Replica display of a typical Victorian water supply - H.A.N.W.E
A collage of an historic Pump House for H.A.N.W.E - Vicarage Lane Farnham has a 1995 replica display of a typical Victorian water supply with this well head pump positioned above a old well from pre 1600s. The display is protected by an iron railing over a clear plastic glazing, so proves difficult to avoid the reflection of the church behind. Much Photoshop adjustment to reduce the reflection and obtain a clearer image.

Have a great weekend one and all!

Great value to historic intertest Roger but when you think that methods of delivering water still exist in many remote parts of the world today.

With you on that Maurice; a school friend's father had a boat mooring on the Reading Thames attached to a plot of land, a few late 1950s school holidays enjoyed there, complete with a well pump that we had to wash under, definitely woke one up in the morning!

It is good to remember what everyday domestic joys there were to be had; I recall grandparents in a house with a piped water supply, just a stone sink with one cold tap and that was out in an outhouse: Good old tin baths in front of the fire, of course.
Trust your weekend was a good one, thanks Rosa.

A little small for that Fred, more of an outhouse!
