Cadw's description
Location
Situated in rebate of stone walls at street corner opposite Ivy House, Church Bank.
History
One of two public pumps surviving in the town dating from the modernisation of the water-supply by the Earls of Powis in the late C19. The other, dated 1871 is on Arthur Street, by Steppe House. Pump stands against a corner projection in the stone wall.
Exterior
Water pump, wooden rectangular box structure with iron panels bolted to the front. The central panel has segmental-arched raised border around a large spout surmounted by an earl's coronet, with the date 1876 in the lower corners. Long iron pump handle attached to the right side.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a pump with distinctive detail, part of the later C19 public water-supply.
