Description
The structure originally comprised a lever-action pump, likely manufactured between 1900 and 1919 by Lee Howl & Co. of Tipton, England, identifiable by a flag logo inscribed on its column. It was probably a ‘Paragon cistern pump’. The pump was mounted on a wooden post within a stone alcove on the right-hand side of Park Lane, adjacent to a now derelict farmhouse in the Loughans townland. The column was a plain design with a cap. The pump was removed sometime between 1995 and 2006, leaving only the stone alcove. The site retains industrial archaeological interest and was recorded as derelict in 2006. More information can be found in the report ‘Water Pumps in Northern Ireland: A Preliminary Survey’ by Fred Hammond, January 1997, reference number 57.
