What is recorded here
Water pump in Duncarbry has a new tap fitted to its grand old fluted body. It’s the plumbing equivalent of Grandad getting an electric bicycle: still wearing the same hat, suddenly up the hill before the rest of you.
Cast-iron water pump, c.1870, comprising fluted cylindrical shaft with raised horizontal banding and fluted domed cap with acorn finial. New tap fitted. Set on side of road.
Erected to supply water to the local community, this item of street furniture is of technical interest and is part of the urban and social fabric of Tullaghan. Today its decorative form contributes to the character of the locality.
