What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1910, comprising fluted pedestal shaft on moulded base with lion mask spout, moulded necking, and fluted capping having acorn finial. Now disused. Road fronted.
An appealing, if unassuming, item of street furniture that represents an early artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work. The fine inscribed and cast detailing, including the loin mask spout, enhances the artistic design quality of the piece. However, designed primarily as a functional piece, the waterpump is of significance as a reminder of the mechanisms installed for the provision of clean drinking water before mains water systems.
