Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c. 1860, comprising fluted shaft with domed fluted cap, spout and cow-tail handle terminating in circular disk.
Sited near to an entrance to Adare Manor and at the end of a narrow domestic street, this item would once have played an important part in the town, providing water to the inhabitants. It exhibits artistic detail in its design.
