Water pump in Johnstown, County Cork

What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, erected c. 1880, with fluted shaft, fluted cap, ball finial and lion mask spout.

Pleasantly located, this cast-iron water hydrant makes an interesting contribution to the village of Glounthane. The well-executed and aesthetically pleasing cast details enliven the composition of this functional object. Its survival is important to the social history of this small community.
