What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron hydrant, erected c. 1890, with fluted shaft with bucket stand and foundry mark 'Glenfield and Kennedy Kilmarnock'. Fluted cap having spout, knob and acorn finial.

The employment of artistic detailing to the pump such as the fluted shaft and acorn finial enliven this functional object. The hydrant retains its bucket stand, which are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland. Glenfield and Kennedy were a Scottish company founded in 1865. They produced all manner of waterworks fittings. Their products were sold internationally, and the company maintained offices in London, as well as Calcutta and Bombay, India.
