What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1900, comprising banded cylindrical shaft with moulded necking supporting fluted cylindrical head having spout, curvilinear 'cow tail' handle, and capping now missing. Now disused. Road fronted on a concrete base.

Forming an appealing, if unassuming feature in the street scene a waterpump represents an early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work. While fine detailing identifies the aesthetic aspirations of the composition the waterpump remains of particular importance as a reminder of the mechanisms installed for the provision of water from a local source before the introduction of mains systems.
