Description
A water fountain dating from between 1920 and 1939, situated in a prominent roadside location in the centre of Tobermore. It contributes to the group value of listed buildings in the village, particularly alongside another rotary type pump. The fountain is a standard Glenfield & Kennedy design, featuring a plain shaped, fluted column and a fluted cap topped with an acorn finial. An inscription reads "Glenfield & Kennedy Ld/Kilmarnock" at the top of the column, while the base is inscribed with only "Glenfield". The fountain was not depicted on Ordnance Survey maps of 1905 or 1926 (reference OS10/5/36/14/1 and 2). Further information can be found in the Environment Heritage Service report, 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland: A Preliminary Survey' by Fred Hammond, January 1997, Pump no. 19. The fountain is of industrial archaeological interest and holds local historical significance reflecting social and cultural importance. It is owned by the local government.
