Detail of an old pump, complete with handwheel, located near the junction of Back Road and Front Road in Drumbo Image This is the inscription which I think reads "W. Willis, Dublin Road, Belfast" and the date 1900. A W. Willis is listed in the 1901 Belfast Street Directory at number 33 Dublin Road, listed as a "plumber, gas and steam fitter". The firm 'Willis Heating & Plumbing Co. Ltd.' was still trading on the Dublin Road in the 1980s - see Image (although they may not have been related) and the name Willis is still to be found on the road today - Image
