Description

This is a public water fountain located outside 46 Main Street, Sixmilecross, County Tyrone. Dating from between 1900 and 1919, it serves as a reminder of a time when public sources were the primary means of obtaining drinking water.

The fountain features a plain, shaped, and fluted column topped with a lion's mouth spout and an acorn finial. The column is inscribed with the makers' name “Glenfield & Kennedy Ltd, Kilmarnock.” Water troughs were present along the street, as shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1906 and 1937, although pumps were not specifically marked. Further information can be found in Fred Hammond's 1997 report, 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland'.

The fountain holds industrial archaeological interest and contributes to the group value of public water fountains in Sixmilecross. Its architectural interest lies in its style, proportions, and ornamentation, and its setting contributes to its significance. It also possesses social, cultural, economic, and local historical importance. The property is owned by the local government.
