Patwell Pump ~ Bruton

Superbe... Bien vu et bien rendu.... Bon Jeudi.

Thank you Malik.
Good Thursday for you too.

An interesting place, Rosa ! Have a very nice Thursday afternoon !

Thank you Ulrich. Enjoy your day also.

Great and interesting, Rosa !!!!

Thank you Marie-claire.

I love this sort of find...............it's a lovely shaped building and I love that deep blue door. I also like the lichen on the stone. It's doing well for it's age!

Very well taken Rosa.

I found an old Pumping Station up on Grafton down in Wiltshire a few years ago; www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/23614667

Every time I visit Bruton, and am by the bridge, I attempt to get a picture of this, but there are usually cars in the way as there is a corner shop nearby. On this occasion there was a car but I was able to squeeze in and get this close-up.

Thank you for your great comments and thank you for the interesting link that I have followed.

I love the textures in the stonework, Rosa. Chhers, Joe

Thank you for your kind words Joe. As Keith said, it is nice to come across these often hidden and forgotten about gems. Cheers, Rosa.

A lovely old building with beautiful stonework and a superb piece of history Rosa,

Thank you very much for your kind comments Roger.

Until I read what it was I thought it was the village lock up

That was my first thought Peter.

Were people taking water there in the past, Rosalyn ?

I'm not sure sure Christiane but I would think so.

That's fascinating, Rosa. I'm interested that the dating of it is a bit uncertain, though the machinery remains in working order which says a lot after all this time.
