The pump-house at Trow
Image: © David Smith Taken: 4 Feb 2016
The building is secured by an iron gate. Inside is the pump used to supply water to Trow, and a board detailing the history of the use of the building. The well was sunk in 1881, in memory of Anderson Morshead, a local clergyman. The well was deepened in 1900 and again in 1909 (after the well had run dry). It was in use until piped water was supplied to Trow in 1915. The building and pump are cared for by the Sid Vale Association
