The pump is used to return water used through the Caen Hill locks from below the bottom lock at Foxhangers to somewhere above the flight. The intakes from the canal are protected by grills. The pump is now powered by solar energy - see [[4230674]]. The bridge carries the towpath, a public footpath, to the south side of the canal.
