What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1880. Circular banded shaft, wider fluted head with gadrooned domed cap and spike pinnacle. Spout with raised rim and projecting bucket lip, cow tailed handle pivoted on lug projecting from one side of head. Secured on concrete slab surrounded by iron railings at roadside location.

This water pump is an important feature of social history in the village Stradone, as it is a reminder of the provision of a communal water source before the provision of the mains water supply. It is simple but elegant in design, ans is an execellent example of the high quality of mass produced cast-iron in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
