Geocache Description:

Pedlars End Pump House


This brick structure housed the village pump for the cottages in Pedlars End.  It was not possible to use the pump without priming it, by pouring a quart jam jar of water into the top.  Due to wear on the leather washer, the priming water slowly leaked away. So a jam jar was kept in the pump house to be left full when the villager had filled his/her buckets, so the next person could draw their water.  Woe betides anyone who failed to leave a full jam-jar!

This pump house was renovated around 1970 but sadly the lead pump was stolen sometime in the 1980's, presumably for scrap.  The Parish Council renovated the pump house again in 2014.

The cache you are looking for is a small cylinder containing a log book but NO PEN, so please bring your own.  This is on a road.  It can get busy near school times.
