We wondered if anyone had a spare in their collection that they would be willing to transfer to the museum for this purpose. The plan is for it to be non-working but it will help us in our creation of a new learning journey focussing on the importance of water and will draw on the cholera epidemics in the Black Country in the 19th century. It will be sited in the open air, as an exhibit that won't have a barrier around it but it will be cared for, as we care for all our outdoor exhibits/ street furniture. The type we are looking for can be seen in these images (see links). http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/GB145_p_1935/ http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/GB146_PHS_4883/ http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/GB146_PHS_4815/ If anyone can help, please do contact me either on SHCG or directly, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Many thanks, Clare Clare Weston Curator - Domestic and Cultural Life Black Country Living Museum Tipton Road, Dudley DY1 4SQ [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 0121 521 3520 (Please note that this is a new contact number) www.bclm.com<http://www.bclm.com/> Please note that my working days are Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
