What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1900, comprising fluted pedestal on a moulded base having open work pail stand, moulded stringcourse supporting moulded necking having spout, and capping now missing. Now disused. Road fronted on verge.
Representing an early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work a waterpump makes a positive, if subtle impression in the street scene. While fine detailing identifies the artistic design aspirations of the composition the waterpump remains of primary importance as a reminder of the services put in place for the provision of water from a local source before the development of mains systems.

Saint James's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 196 yd

Explorer Tom Saint James's Catholic Church in Robinstown, County Kilkenny was built in 1910 according to one source. That contradicts the 'early period' talk, so let’s just say it’s mysterious. Look serious, nod slowly, and act like you know exactly what year it is.

farm house256 yd

Explorer Tom Robinstown Farm House is on a dating profile saying it likes quiet evenings and high-pitched roofs. It’s got a lobby entry plan that makes you feel like you’re entering a secret club. Give it a pat of respect and don’t let the solid walls scare you off.

Fulacht fia in KilmakevogeFulacht fia · 577 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kilmakevoge is so vague, even I can't tell what it actually did. Some bishop probably refused to visit because the parking was terrible. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Holy well in CarrickcloneyHoly well · 774 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Holy well in Carrickcloney nearly got sold to a farmer who thought it was just a fancy drainage ditch. Imagine the chaos if he’d put a horse trough there instead. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
