What is recorded here

Water pump in Hallahoise stands in the grass with a cow-tail handle and a concrete plinth. It has the air of a cow a magician promised to bring back. The audience has gone home; the tail is still waiting for the rest of her.

Freestanding cast-iron "cow tail" waterpump, extant 1962. Now disused. Road fronted on concrete plinth on grass verge.
A "cow tail" waterpump supplied by Jessop Davis (closed 1962) of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a rural street scene.
