    Pedal powered water pump?
    There's a generator to the side of one bike with what looks like a smoothing capacitor on the side, that's powering the big green thing that looks a bit like a pump perhaps.

    Water-powered kiddy ride. Kind of like a see-saw, but compact. And for lazy kids.

    Stick a Jones label on it and people will pay thousands for it.

    Some kind of bike powered air pump/bellows that has been modified to now run on an electric single phase motor (as given away by the start capacitor).

    Loved to go down one of those. Those are our history 😀

    I'm guessing its for air?

    I'm pretty sure it's a bike powered air exchanger:

    which can be found here

    the shelter itself looks like this currently:

    2m thick RC walls and roof!
    we're hopefully putting a few more storeys on top and the shelter will be used as a museum.

    Built in 1938?

    What a view with those buildings on each side!
