The building, tower and wind mill where the citizens of the town get their water, 1955

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y30685A/5
Scope and Contents

80 x 80 mm. In the past years the water was pumped from the deep well by the wind mill which proved efficient, but at times the water level got dangerously low, due to lack of wind. Now the water is pumped by an electric pump. The water is stored in a cistern that is capable of holding some 9000 gallons of water. When water is needed in a large quantity it is pumped into the waiting tanks by the means of a sump. If only a pail full is needed the small hand pump is used.
