Description
This public water pump and trough is located in a prominent position in the centre of Belleek, Co Fermanagh, and dates from between 1880 and 1899. It serves as a reminder of the time when street-side water pumps were the primary source of drinking water. The pump is of rotary type and retains its associated cast-iron horse trough, which is of particular significance. The pump’s design features a fluted, splay-shaped column and a fluted cap topped with a pointed finial. A metal plate affixed to the cap identifies the manufacturer as F.W. Brackett & Co Ltd, Engineers, Colchester, England. The structure is of industrial archaeological interest and holds local historical and social, cultural, and economic importance due to its rarity and association with the area’s past. Further details are documented in the EHS Report ‘Water Pumps in Northern Ireland: A Preliminary Survey’ by Fred Hamond, January 1997, Pump No 9.
