REFURBISHMENT OF VILLAGE PUMP STRUCTURE

Calbourne Residents welcomed the High Sheriff Dawn Haigh-Thomas,  who cut the ribbon to mark the refurbishment of  the historic village pump canopy project which is a well known local landmark. 
 The pump was manufactured in 1894 and the pump canopy was erected about 120 years ago. The original pump wheel vanished a few years ago and thanks to Calbourne residents raised money towards a replacement wheel being made by Whipping Forge to complete the project.
Councillor John Angel Chairman of Calbourne Newtown and Porchfield Parish Council thanked the High Sheriff  for presiding over the completion of this village project. He thanked the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for giving the Council a grant towards the cost of the restoration, the Council for also funding this project, the Clerk for obtaining a Grant for the project and the Villagers for leading the fund raising to replace the pump wheel with the Council funding the rest. He thanked our builder John Nicholson who is vastly experienced at working on restoration projects. His team have done a great job. Everyone then went to Calbourne Sports and Recreation Hall who had put on tea, coffee and cakes. It was a very enjoyable morning.
