What is recorded here

Cast-iron water hydrant, erected c.1870, with fluted shaft, fluted and banded domed cap, plain spout and acorn finial. Recent tap added. Bucket stand to front, foundry mark to rear of base.

This attractive cast-iron water pump is located in its original position in the small settlement of Woodford. It would have once acted as a communal water source, and its position near the church and school is typical. Well-executed banding and fluting add artistic interest to this mass-produced item.
