The Louis XV-style pump dating from 1754 was restored and moved in 1887.
By the side of the pump is a poem:
“A road widening is not fun. I was put aside. Close to the tree ’s great sorrow. Where no one sheds a tear. “
I did not notice the tree but you can see it here.
My goodness you must be eagle-eyed.
I was on that day
I had time to chill and take in the surroundings 
it’s a wonderful medieval pump Cherie. and you have framed it well…
think that it would look much better beside the tree… than in a building complex….peter:)
The scaffolding around the buildings didn’t help to show it off in its glory!
What a pompous pump!
Ha ha…
Very grandiose
It is quite a pump…I love seeing technology through history!
I was pleased that I spotted it. I wasn’t immediately obvious due to all the building works going on around it.
At least the tree wasn’t cur down, Cherie, or perhaps it was a newly-grown one
I don’t know if it is a new one or not. It is difficult to find out about the things that I saw in Leuven.
