Geschiedenis van het archief
1929: Manufactured by John Blake Ltd, Accrington. Originally installed at Pixhill Farm, Tedstone Court Estate near Bromyard, Herefordshire. Housed in a small brick building deep in a steep-sided valley. It was used to pump water from a stream to a reservoir.
1930: The scheme lasted less than twelve months, due to a storm in 1930 washing away the dam holding the reservoir water. This RAM then sat in its sunken building for the next 70 years.
Directe bron van verwerving of overbrenging
1999: This RAM was offered to the Waterworks Museum by Tedstone Court Estate but it took some time to organise and recover the item due to its remote and difficult location.
2006: It was placed outside as a static display after it was found it wasn't possible to restore it to working order as a sufficient head of water could not be provided for this. It can be found as you walk up towards the Tangye building.
