Description
Sewer ventilation column, of 1896-1903, constructed by W Macfarlane & Co to a scheme design by Baldwin Latham (1836-1917), and one of around 28 remaining in Carshalton.
MATERIALS: cast-iron.
DESCRIPTION: the cylindrical sewer column is around 9m high. It is formed of two conjoined lengths of pipe, linked with a flanged joint and stands on a circular and decorative, moulded plinth. The top of the column is terminated by a Corinthian-type capital, above which sits the ventilation apparatus. It is topped by an ornate arrow (thought either to orientate the vent into the wind or to indicate the line of the sewer), a ball with four, projecting and circular vents, a filigree crown and a finial. Near the base of the column is a manufacture stamp with the name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO GLASGOW’.
