Village pump on Sands Lane, Ellerker.
"On the 5th June 1999, a reconstructed Village water pump was erected on stonework opposite the Village Institute. The idea of reinstalling a Village pump was made to the millennium Committee by Mr. Frank Barratt. Mr. Cartwright-Taylor donated the basic pump ‘works’. Mr. Jim Acey put these ‘works’ into new woodwork. Mr. John May provided the necessary ironwork. Mr. Dennis Cooney supplied the commemorative plaque. Mr. Mike Harrison supplied and erected the stone plinth and plants were provided by Green’s Nursery."

It seems that in the intervening years the wooden housing has been removed, and possibly the whole cast iron mechanism has been replaced.
