What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1890, with banded cylindrical neck, fluted cap with finial and 'cow's tail' handle. Located to the northeast end of Tyrrellspass and surrounded on three sides by a rubble limestone wall with some remaining flagstones to base.

Water pumps played an important social role in the late nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries by providing a communal water source. This cast-iron pump represents an early artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work and now serves as an attractive piece of street furniture, aesthetically enhances the streetscape of Tyrrellspass. The attractive boundary wall and the remaining flagstones to the base add to the setting.
