Historical Information

Pump shown at this location on the 25 inch OS maps of 1906 and 1956 (PRONI Ref OS 10/2/26/2/1 and 2) but this is probably a replacement. Further particulars in the EHS Report 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland : A Preliminary Survey' by Fred Hammond, January 1997, Pump no. 15.
