Appraisal
Although now disused, this attractive water pump is an interesting piece of road side furniture from a bye-gone era. This pump is a fine example of a mass produced cast-iron items of the late nineteenth century with simple artistic detailing, and a curving handle adding artistic interest to this fine piece.
