water pump — Newtown

The record classifies water pump — Newtown as water pump. It does not safely state the first owner's purpose beyond that use, so this first account does not borrow a story from a namesake.

No architect, builder, owner, worker or resident is named in the saved wording. Those people remain unknown until the linked official record or another source identifies them.

The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.

The public record still identifies the place as water pump. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.

water pump — Newtown matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A "lion mask" water hydrant supplied by Glenfield and Kennedy (established 1852) of Kilmarnock representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
