Description
A sewer ventilation column on Hillcroome Road of around 1896-1903 constructed by W Macfarlane & Co, for a sewerage scheme by Baldwin Latham (1836-1917) and one of around 28 remaining in Carshalton.
MATERIALS: cast-iron
DETAILS: the cylindrical sewer ventilation column is around 9m high and is designed to resemble a Classical column with pedestal, moulded base and enriched capital. It is constructed of two conjoined lengths of pipe, linked with a flanged joint. Above the capital is a ball with vents facing in four directions. This is surmounted by a tall finial encircled with a filigree coronet and with an ornate arrow which has been repositioned from below the vent. The purpose of the arrow is thought to be to orientate the vent into the wind or to indicate the line of the sewer. There is no visible manufacture stamp, although a number of similar examples in Carshalton are marked with the name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO, GLASGOW’.
