Bude Water tender, Cornwall. 1980's.

My brother Vince took this picture along with others, while on holiday.The water ladder was a TK Bedford, this pump looked positively ancient, but in great condition, courtesy of the lad's care and attention I think!

Possibly a Bedford J4 but definately body by HCB Angus. My database says it's one of 4, SRL 593H to SRL 596H.

Interesting to see, that this appliance does'nt have two tone horns fitted. Just a hand rung bell. Especially that it is still in use in the 1980's!
