- Summary:
- The Buxton tradition of decorating a well or a pump dates only from 1840 and was revived in 1904, thanks in part to the efforts of showman 'President' George Kemp, who both paid for the event and filmed it. The video includes shots of two wells, one lavishly decorated. Kemp himself can be glimpsed in a white jacket and shoes.
