Description

The sewer ventilation column, built between 1896 and 1903, is located on the east side at the end of Palmerston Road. It was constructed by W Macfarlane & Co as part of a sewerage scheme designed by Baldwin Latham.

This cast-iron structure consists of multiple components and stands approximately 9 meters tall. It features a pedestal, a moulded base, and an enriched capital. The column is made up of two lengths of pipe connected by a flanged joint. Atop the capital is an ornate arrow that helps orient the vent into the wind or indicates the line of the sewer. Above this is a ball fitting with four circular vents, a filigree crown, and a finial. The shaft is moulded with the heavily-overpainted maker’s name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO GLASGOW’.
