Description

Sewer ventilation column of around 1896-1903, located on the east side of the end of Palmerston Road, constructed by W Macfarlane & Co for a sewerage scheme by Baldwin Latham.

MATERIALS: cast-iron structure of multiple components.

DETAILS: the sewer ventilation column is around 9m high with a pedestal, moulded base and enriched capital. It is constructed of two lengths of pipe, connected by a flanged joint. On top of the capital is an ornate arrow to orientate the vent into the wind or to indicate the line of the sewer. This in turn is surmounted a ball fitting with four circular vents, a filigree crown, and finial. The shaft is moulded with the heavily-overpainted maker’s name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO GLASGOW’.
