Pump and milestone is a Victorian-era wayside structure located in Lincolnshire, England, dating to the nineteenth century. The monument comprises a functional water pump and an associated milestone, representing the infrastructure of rural transport and daily life during the industrial period. Such combined structures served travellers and local communities by providing fresh water and directional information along important routes. The survival of both elements together demonstrates the practical arrangements typical of Victorian roadside provision in rural England.
