I think Kev is right and I'd guess perhaps Brest?

You've got it Ian. It's a Kirkham four feed high pressure oiler that I was refurbishing..... I did two of them. God knows what it would cost to make one today.....
Now we need another object.

Well done Tom! Two 'Blow' butter churns. They only took a quart of cream and were used on the table top.
Now we need another object!

Do we know if it was originally fed from a borehole?

Shouldn't think so Ian. More likely to be a natural spring somewhere nearby.

The fire hydrant feeds from the same source or is that just a coincidence and connected to the mains water?
