Description

The Village Pump is a public water pump located on Fore Street in Hemyock, dated 1902. It features an elaborate cast iron design with a square well house. The well house has pilasters adorned with florets in sunk panels, and the main sides display geometric patterns along with the royal coat of arms. The pump faces west and has an inscription on the north side that commemorates the reign of Queen Victoria, the accession of King Edward VII, and the restoration of peace in South Africa, all dated 1902. The structure is topped with side finials and a tall central fluted finial, which is placed on two open-work platforms supported by barley-sugar balusters. Overall, it is a charming and brightly painted feature that adds character to the area.
