The plaque reads "THE GRIMSBY ROAD PUMP - This 19th century pump was built on a ramp to enable water carts to fill up more easily. Hill farmers came to the village regularly to get water needed at Harvest time for steam threshing machines as well as for brewing to quench the thirst of their workers. The rings in the brickwork were used to tether horses. The pump was refurbished in 1996 with funds provided by east Lindsey District Council, Rural Action and Binbrook Parish Council."
