What is recorded here
Water pump in Carrickmines Little has retired from supplying water but kept its lion’s face. That’s a cat for you: withdraw the only useful service you provide, then sit by the road looking as though the village has disappointed you.
Freestanding cast-iron "lion mask" water hydrant, extant 1937. Now disused. Road fronted.
A "lion mask" water hydrant supplied by Glenfield and Kennedy (established 1852) of Kilmarnock representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a suburban street scene.
