What is recorded here
Water pump in Manorhamilton once made the neighbours share a single spout. You’d arrive for water and leave knowing whose engagement was off. Getting a tap at home must have been desperate: lovely pressure, absolutely no news.
Cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, comprising fluted cylindrical shaft with raised horizontal banding and spout and fluted domed cap with acorn finial.
This water pump, dating to a period before mains water supply, is of social interest. Though a functional piece, it has been made aesthetically appealing with details such as the acorn finial, fluted cap and shaft.
