An open head lever type pump with a plain column and fluted cap. The column is inscribed with a flag logo (denoting manufacture by Lee Howl & Co, Tipton, England) and '2 1/2". It is probably a 'Paragon strong yard pump'. It is mounted on a concrete base in the garden beside the lane. The handle is missing a link where it connects to the colomn.
