An old wall mounted water pump at Ballywalter Park seen in Image It appears to be broken and is constructed of wood, with an iron handle and what looks like the remains of a lead spout. It carries the inscription of one James Cameron of Belfast. Possibly this is the man listed in the 1851 and 1861 Belfast Street Directories as a "plumber, lead merchant &c." operating from premises at 47 Donegall Street & 4 North Queen Street in the city.
