Water hydrant, The Batch, Rickford
Water hydrant, The Batch, Rickford
This apparent pump has the wording 'open/shut' on the wheel which implies that it controls a valve and hence water under pressure making it a hydrant. Below the level of the Rickford Rising it could be fed from the millpond or from the early piped water supply to the village. The outlet fitting suggests it was used for attaching a hose rather than a village water supply.
