Description

The sewer ventilation column, built between 1896 and 1903, is located opposite Carshalton Beeches Station. It was constructed by W Macfarlane & Co based on a design by Baldwin Latham and is one of about 28 remaining in Carshalton.

This cylindrical column stands approximately 9 meters tall and is made of cast iron. It consists of two joined lengths of pipe connected by a flanged joint and rests on a circular, decorative, moulded plinth. At the top, the column features a Corinthian-type capital, above which is the ventilation apparatus. The column is topped with an ornate arrow, which may serve to orient the vent into the wind or indicate the sewer's line, along with a ball that has four projecting circular vents, a filigree crown, and a finial. Near the base, there is a manufacturer’s stamp that reads ‘W MACFARLANE & CO GLASGOW’.
