Bedford Row Water Pump

This water pump is at the side of my office (in the background of the picture). I walk past it everyday, I know it's there but I don't notice it. A lady was photographing it today and I thought "there's my blip for today". (I only hope she wasn't blipping it too!)

I lifted this from knowledgeoflondon.com:

"This beautiful old water pump, complete with a lamp, stands in the middle of the road in Bedford Row, near to Jockey Fields and Grays Inn. Local dwellers and Lawyers would draw their water in the early eighteen hundreds. Charles Dickens lived and worked close by so would have almost certainly used this pump at sometime."
