What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, installed c. 1880, comprising banded shaft, fluted neck and spout with bucket notch. Having later render cap and cow-tail handle. Mounted on render plinth with rubble stone enclosing walls having render coping. Located on verge of road.
Although now disused, this attractive water pump is an interesting piece of road side furniture from a bye-gone era. This pump is a fine example of a mass produced cast-iron items of the late nineteenth century with simple artistic detailing, and a curving handle adding artistic interest to this fine piece.
