Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1880, comprising banded cylindrical shaft with fluted head having fluted spout, ‘cow tail’ curvilinear handle, and fluted ogee-dome cap. Now disused. Set back from line of road with random rubble stone boundary wall to circumference of site.
An appealing feature in the streetscape that represents an important early-surviving artefact in mass-produced cast-iron ware. The various raised elements enhance the artistic quality of the piece, while the curvilinear ‘cow tail handle’ in particular is an elegant feature of the design. 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 systems.
