This redundant and un-calibrated pump is still located on the roadside of Coalport's High Street. I think I recall the outbuilding off-shot to the right trading as a small garage/workshop many years ago, so this was presumably part of their operations. It has a mechanical dial and is marked only in gallons, which probably dates it to the early 1950s, and bears more than a passing resemblance to either an Avery Hardoll '101' or Avery Hardoll 'S' model.
