Its B&Q initials are not for a DIY store – but show the pump was bought by the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, who owned the Beaulieu Estate until 1867. Lord Montagu’s grandfather John revived the Beaulieu Fire Brigade in around 1907 and paid for the Merryweather pump to be put in order, half a mile of hose to be repaired and an alarm bell added with various other pieces of equipment. He also headed fundraising for uniforms and two years later, built an engine shed for the brigade. See the new exhibit on a visit to Beaulieu.
