Pump, Castlefarm Road/North St, Stewartstown, Dungannon

This is a good and increasingly rare example of a double-wheel cast iron water pump, a notable feature at the corner of Castlefarm Road and North Street in Stewartstown, near Dungannon. Originally, the town had several public water pumps; this is now the sole surviving example, serving as a reminder of when drinking water was sourced from public street pumps.

The pump was erected around 1890 and is situated at the junction of Coagh Road and North Street, facing east along the Coagh Road. It features a squat, hyperbolic pedestal with a bowl-shaped head and a hemispherical, fluted cap. There are two wheels, one on each side of the head, each with five spokes. The original handle is now missing. A down-turned spout is located on the east side of the pump, with fluting at the base and a rounded horn projecting upward to hold a bucket. The pedestal has simple mouldings at the top and bottom, resting on a square cast-iron plate bolted to a stone base. One bolt is missing. The manufacturer's stamp, reading "Winnington and Co Engineers Belfast" in an oval shape, is embossed on the south side of the pedestal. The cap is fluted, topped with a mushroom-shaped finial.

The pump sits on a sandstone base with granite kerbstones. A random ashlar stone wall stands adjacent to the north. The pump, base, and wall are positioned at the roadside, with a grass verge to the west and a field behind. To the east, there is a concrete block wall and a gate leading into the field, with a concrete finish to the gateway.

A pump is shown on this site on the 1906 Ordnance Survey plan of Stewartstown, suggesting installation around 1890.
