What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1880, comprising banded cylindrical shaft with head having plaque, spout with foliate detailing, ‘cow tail’ curvilinear handle, and ogee-dome cap. Now disused. Set back from road in grounds shared with Newtown Farm with random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter of site.

This waterpump, which retains all of its original components, is an attractive, early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. The various raised details serve to enhance the artistic design quality of the piece, while the ‘cow tail’ handle is an elegant feature of the composition. The waterpump is of additional significance as a reminder of the mechanisms installed for the extraction of clean drinking water in a period before mains water supply.
