Description

Number 16 Sewer Ventilation Column on Mill Lane is a sewer ventilation column built between 1896 and 1903 by W Macfarlane & Co, as part of a sewerage scheme designed by Baldwin Latham. It is one of about 28 remaining in Carshalton.

The column is made of cast iron and stands approximately 9 meters high. It is designed to resemble a Classical column, featuring a pedestal, a moulded base, and an enriched capital. The structure consists of two joined lengths of pipe connected by a flanged joint. Atop the capital is an ornate arrow, which is believed to help orient the vent into the wind or indicate the sewer's direction. This is topped by a ball with vents facing in all four directions. Originally, the column would have had a tall finial encircled with a coronet, but these decorative elements are no longer present. While there is no visible manufacturer stamp on this column, several similar examples in Carshalton are marked with the name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO, GLASGOW’.
