The Department's description

Exterior description and setting

The remains of a closed head lever type pump made my Millfield Foundry, Belfast. The column and cap are plain save horizontal bands round the column. Handle missing. It has a removable inspection plate at side to base of the column. The makers name is inscribed around the top. The pump is now used for flower arrangements.

Historical information

Shown on the 25 inch OS map of 1916 (PRONI Ref OS 10/3/20/12/1). As Millfield Foundry appears to have been established in 1907, the pump was probably installed between this and 1915.
