What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron waterpump, c.1910, comprising fluted cylindrical shaft having open work pail stand, moulded necking with spout, and fluted ogee-domed capping having acorn finial. Now disused. Road fronted on concrete footpath.

Representing an early-surviving piece of mass-produced cast-iron ware, this waterpump forms a discreet feature in the street scene. The various raised and inscribed details enhance the design quality of the composition. The waterpump is of additional significance as a reminder of mechanisms put in place to source clean drinking water prior to the development of a mains water system.
