What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1880, comprising fluted shaft with lion mask spout, moulded necking, and fluted ogee-domed capping. Now disused. Road fronted on concrete brick cobbled footpath.
An appealing artefact in early-surviving, mass-produced cast-iron ware, which makes a pleasing impression in the street scene. The various raised details, particularly the lion mask spout, enhance the artistic design distinction of the piece. The waterpump is of particular importance as a reminder of the mechanisms installed for the provision of clean drinking water in the period before mains water supply systems.
