Preston village pump

On my way to the Verulam Cycling Club's annual hill climb, an event which ends the cycle club's racing season, I passed through the village of Preston, where I took a photograph of the village pump, which was used to pump water from underground tanks to used for domestic use. Preston has an interesting history going back hundreds of years. If you are interested in cycling look up http://www.verulamcc.org.uk/ the Cycling Club,of which I have been a member for over 45 years. Hill climbs on cycles are a young man's sport so I timed the riders up the hill which pushing the button on a stop watch is much more conducive for my age which is 82 years.
