This horizontal duplex non-rotative steam pump by Tangye of Birmingham was spotted on a patio area in front of the former waterworks. Alongside is a manual winch of the type often found on the beam floor of beam engine houses. The provenance of these two is not known. The pump was of a type often found for boiler feed purposes or for handling various other fluids in relatively small quantities.
