Van Epernet.nl:
In de jaren 60 van de vorige eeuw verzamelde zich tijdens de lunchpauze nog wel eens wat ‘werkvolk’ bij de Dorspomp in Epe aan de Markt, nu het horecaplein. Een pomp die overigens in 1948 werd geschonken aan de gemeente Epe door de particulier D.H. Pasman. Ook was het in de jaren 60 de verzamelplek van de voetballers van de v.v. Epe naar hun uitwedstrijden. Een pomp die na meerdere omzwervingen in Epe, nu achter de Grote of Sint Maartenskerk staat.
De pomp is van wit marmer en is bekroond met twee eikels van brons. De gietmond is een vis van brons.
From Epernet.nl:
During the lunch break in the 1960s, some 'working people' sometimes gathered at the Dorspomp in Epe on the Markt, now the catering square. A pump that was donated to the municipality of Epe in 1948 by the private D.H. Pasman. It was also in the 1960s the gathering place of the footballers of the vv Epe to their away games. A pump that, after several wanderings in Epe, is now behind the Grote or Sint Maartenskerk.
The pump is made of white marble and has two bronze acorns. The casting nozzle is a bronze fish.
