The Department's description

Exterior description and setting

Lever (closed head) type pump with plain column and cap. It is of unusual design and is probably relatively modern. It has a spout lug but no pedestal. It is located in a roadside alcove opposite houses which it continues to supply.

Historical information

Pump shown at this location on the 25 inch OS maps of 1906 and 1956 (PRONI Ref OS 10/2/26/2/1 and 2) but this is probably a replacement. Further particulars in the EHS Report 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland : A Preliminary Survey' by Fred Hammond, January 1997, Pump no. 15.

Evaluation

This usually designed pump and stone alcove is an important reminder of the time when drinking water was only available from a public supply.
