What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1880, with banded and fluted shaft and cap and lion's head motif. Recently added tap.
This cast-iron water hydrant makes a fine contribution to the streetscape. The fluted casting provides artistic detail and this functional object is further enlivened by the lion's head spout mask.
