Description
Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c. 1870, having fluted head and fluted cap with finial, banded shaft, and curved handle. Now disused.
Appraisal
Attractive cast-iron water pump located in its original position on the roadside in rural area, which would have once acted as a communal water source to local householders. The banding and fluting are well executed and, along with the elegantly curved handle, add artistic interest to this utilitarian object.
