What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1900, comprising fluted shaft with cast-iron pail stand, lion mask spout, and moulded necking. Now disused with capping now missing. Set back from line of road on grass verge.

An attractive item of street furniture making a discreet impact in the street scene. The waterpump represents an important, early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron ware, and is of particular importance as evidence of the mechanisms installed for the provision of clean drinking water in the period before mains water systems. The various raised embellishments, and particular the lion mask spout, enhance the artistic design quality of the piece.
