What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron pump, erected c. 1890, no longer in use. Cylindrical horizontally-beaded shaft, fluted head with circular spout to front (east), cow-tail handle to north, fluted ogee-domed cap. Located at edge of road on concrete plinth, semi-circular rubble stone walling to west.
This fine example of a cast-iron water pump is of artistic significance and technical interest because of the elegant finely detailed mouldings achieved in the casting process. At one time such appliances were the only source of water serving rural communities such as Carney.
