What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron "cow tail" waterpump, extant 1904. Now disused. Set on stone flagged plinth with lichen-covered cut-granite trough.

A "cow tail" waterpump representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a rural village street scene.
