Castletown and Water Pump
Date made: mid 19th century
Description: “On my return to Castleton I found I had cause for congratulation, thus to have fallen in with the ladies, instead of meeting with the men. I there learnt that the very day before, a party of visitors to the spot, who arrived in a boat, were actually attacked by the inhabitants with sticks and stones, and severely maltreated.” (Sir George Head, A Home Tour through Various Parts of the United Kingdom, 1837, M 02445)
