What does it dispense, fuel or five-year-old single malt? :drink:

I've also come across one in Co. Donegal at Kilcar. It's in this photo taken in 2014:

Here is one I used to pass several times a week until it was removed sometime last year.

This is from 2009,if you go to 2016, they're gone.

It always amused me to see them as I went by, seemed like something from a bygone era.

Passed this place in Glaisdale last week which looked like it was not self-service and had a chap in the shed. It's more about the garage and car sales down the hill behind.

I'm sure I've posted this one before. Crosby, just North of Liverpool. As far as I know, it's still in use, and you do see people using it fairly often.

I'm not sure the exact year of this picture but I think it is early 50's, it is in Cheadle Hulme.

The pump on the right now resides (and has done for many years) in my friends garden :laugh:
