Description
Cast-iron water pump, c.1870, with a fluted shaft, an acorn finial and foundry mark.
Appraisal
This water pump, which was cast by the Glenfield and Kennedy foundry, is one of the few examples of nineteenth-century street furniture in Laytown. This well designed pump incorporates decorative feature such as the acorn finial and fluted shaft. This is one of a series of water pumps along the coast roads in Bettystown, Laytown and Mornington.
