Overview

water pump — Trim is recorded as water pump in Meath. The saved date range is 1850 to 1890. Its recorded grade or rating is Regional. The saved evidence fixes the building and its protected record while keeping unknown builders, people and changes open.

Why it was built

The record classifies water pump — Trim 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.

People and work

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.

How it changed

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

What survives

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.

Why it mattered

water pump — Trim matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This well designed cast-iron water pump retains its gracefully curved pumping arm and has deep fluting to the cap. It is located on one of the main routes into Trim and would have originally served to allow horses to drink on the way into or out of the town. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
