You can still find a few old water pumps around the city, if you really look. I thought the alligator spout on this one was particularly unusual! For more old stuff, take a look at Rubbish Tuesday.
This is pretty wonderful. I too think it may be a dragon, though whatever creature it is it's fantastic and whimsical. How nice that these can still be found!
i'd say dragon!

ReplyDeleteIsn't this an odd one? I wonder why they chose an alligator for a German spout.
ReplyDeleteHe's one cool creature! Certainly unusual. Great find! Thanks for joining in!

ReplyDeleteI thought it was a Dragon, do like him though
ReplyDeleteThat's a thirsty looking creature, hope the water pump still works?!
ReplyDeleteActually this particular pump didn't work anymore, but many of them across the city still do!

ReplyDeleteIt looks angry! What a neat old find, though.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he should be bfeathing fire, but then at least he could put it out himself with the fountain water.
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating!
