Description
Cast-iron water pump, c.1870, with a fluted shaft, an acorn finial, foundry mark and a shelf to base.
Appraisal
This water pump, cast by Glenfield Kennedy, displays a high degree of design and has interesting details such as the acorn finial, fluted shaft and in particular the shelf to rest a bucket on. It is one of the few examples of street furniture found in Bettystown and contributes greatly to the street. There are a number of similar water pumps along the coast roads in Bettystown, Laytown and Mornington.
