Coultershaw Beam Pump Petworth 2011

A short video taken on Sunday 17th July 2011 showing Coultershaw Beam Pump in Petworth, West Sussex. This waterwheel-driven three-throw beam pump, now open to the public, was installed in 1782 to pump water from the River Rother up to Petworth 1½ miles away and 150ft higher. It has been restored by the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society with the aid of grants from the Department of the Environment and West Sussex County Council. The machinery has been put in working order and a 100 year old barn from Goodwood erected over it to act as a reception and display centre.
