Description

A sewer ventilation column of 1896-1903, located on the south side of Westcroft Road, near the corner with Manor Road North, Carshalton, LB Sutton. Manufactured 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 sewer ventilation column is about 9m high and has a moulded base on a cylindrical pedestal and a Corinthian capital. The shaft of the column is constructed of two lengths of pipe linked with a flanged joint. Above the capital is an ornate arrow, possibly indicating the line of the sewer, or alternatively intended to turn the vent in the direction of the wind. The arrow is surmounted by a ball with circular vents facing in all four directions and a tall finial encircled with a pierced coronet. The column is marked with the name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO, GLASGOW’.
