What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1910, comprising fluted shaft with pail stand, moulded necking with spout, and fluted ogee-dome capping having acorn finial. Road fronted on concrete footpath.
An appealing waterpump, which remains in use, and which survives as a reminder of the mechanisms installed for the provision of clean drinking water in the period before mains water systems. The waterpump also represents an important artefact of early-surviving, mass-produced cast-iron ware. The various raised details enhance the artistic design quality of the piece, and highlight the equal emphasis placed on the importance of aesthetics as well as functionality.
