What is recorded here
Water pump in Manorhamilton wears a pleated base, a domed cap and an acorn on top to dispense water. Somewhere along the way, ‘the bucket is coming’ was mistaken for an announcement of a state visit.
Cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, with fluted base, horizontal banding and fluted domed cap with acorn finial.
Though a functional object, interesting decorative details are present, such as the acorn finial and fluted base. Such features are of artistic interest and enhance the technical design of this cast-iron pump.
