Uxbridge Town Pump
The plaque nearby reads:
"Uxbridge was supplied with piped water until c.1800 when the Grand Junction Canal was built severing the old timber pipes. Wells then had to be dug in the Town Centre and this pump is the "last relic of the second stage of the attempts to supply the people of Uxbridge with water". The pump has been restored to its original location. It was unveiled by the Mayor, Councillor E. Hales, on the 15th of December 1988."
It is located outside St Margaret's Church, Windsor Street, Uxbridge.
Date: post 1800. Renovated and restored in 1988.
