In the beginning it was obtained from the nearest stream or ring - spring -It was said that the Lloyd and Blackwell families carried water through the bush from the north end of Leopold Street w V they were building their b i on Leopold and Minnie unset south Of Jahn Street in 166b In those days the meal job &LLw building a house and planting a garden was to dig a wa. Most of the older homes in Wingham had their own wells. They were still used in many cases after town water was available. In fact some were used up to 1800. Once the well was dug a pump was required. In keeping.. -with the pioneer spirit pumps were made locally from the materials readily available. The top part of the pump was made of pine and the bottom part, which extended into the water in the well, was made of tamarack logs. . In the beginning the handle and spout were also wood. Later cast iron spouts were used. There was a hole about four inches in diameter bored through the centre of the logs by a special auger in a lathe. A flat stone was placed in the bottom of the well to support the pump assembly. The bottom log, about five feet long, rested on this stone and each log was tapered to make a tight joint with the next one. There was an iron band around each joint to keep it from splitting. The sucker was turned and carved from a block of wood and was equipped with a flapper valve. The sucker had a strip of leather tacked around it near the bottom tq make a water -tight joint in the, log. The sucker rod was aro ; ;;,oyah some were wood. In 1879 there were two pump factories listed in Wingham. The Dodds Pump Works was on Scott Street near the Victoria Street carrier. George Proctor had a • pump works on Minnie Street East, south of Patrick. Harry - Cook came from Goderich and started to produce pumps in 1880. He made iron ppmps as well as wooden ones. The pump works that was the last to survive was on Diagonal Road where Alf's Shoe Repair is today. John Pelton had made wooden pumps at his farm west of Zetland before moving to Wingham in 1895. Charles J. Reading had been in partnership with R. N. Duff in a saw milling business in Bluevale. He moved to Wingham and after helping to rebuild the Union Factory bought Pelton's business and operated it until 1908. Christopher Thornton had it for the next three years. J. Edgar Pattison purchased it in 1911 and closed it in 1915 when the small market made it un- profitable. The building on Diagonal Road was a two-storey frame structure with a single storey shop on the north side. There is a picture of the interior on display in the museum. While the first pumps were made by the use of horse power the lathe at the last shop was operated by electric power. The old shop was torn down and the present building was erected in the late 1940s as a welding shop.
