High Newton Hand Pump, Cumbria - Hand Operated Water Pumps on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
The present handle is for display only as it is not connected to the plunger. The body of the pump and spout are made from lead, perhaps that is why the pump was abandoned. The plunger is rusted suggesting cast iron. There is a well at the top of the village near the Crown Inn. Two water sources.

The reservoir above the village was built to supply Grange-over-sands with water. Pipes were purchased before a scheme was approved.
