Ignore the boy and his hoss, what you have left is the sort of contraption that we all used to fetch water home from the village pump when I was growing up in Carnyorth. Every house had one (bar a few with their own wells). Water from Drift finally arrived with us in 1960-61. I believe the name 'stan' was short for 'stand-barrow'. A clever design, it stood upright under the pump and the length of the levers was such that I, only 7yo when the mains arrived, was able to wheel it the 100yds home.
