yeah thinking of keeping it for culverts and the like, not replacing its coming out. was installed in 1953 to provide water to the mill which has now been demolished, so getting rid of pipe and bridge to improve view for when we rebuild the cottage in the near future. me and the machine will be going for a swim tomorrow haha hopefully not too deep
