What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c. 1870, with cylindrical shaft having banding and height marker to neck. Moulded spout with bucket grip and foundry mark, fluted dome-shaped cap having finial. Curved pumping handle.
There is a strong artistic element in the design of this simple practical feature, present in the fluted cap and moulded spout. It is a notable addition to the streetscape both in terms of its former social significance and its aesthetic quality. Foundry mark reads: 'Home' and the height marker reads: ' 3'2" '.
