Appraisal
This water pump, cast by Glenfield and Kennedy, incorporates artistic detailing, such as the acorn finial and the fluted shaft. It is one of the few examples of street furniture found in Mornington and makes a significant contribution to the streetscape. There are a number of similar water pumps along the coast roads in Bettystown, Laytown and Mornington.
