Description

The sewage ventilation column, built around 1903, is located at the corner of Weihurst Gardens and King's Lane in Carshalton. It is part of a system designed by Baldwin Latham.

This column is made of cast iron and has a circular shape, standing approximately 9 meters high. It features two pipes connected by a prominent flanged joint at the midpoint. The plinth base has a moulded top and displays a maker's mark in relief that reads ‘W MACFARLANE & CO / GLASGOW’ along with another mark that says 'GLASGOW / SARACEN FOUNDRY'. At the top of the column, there is an astylar capital, above which sits a globe with four flared vents. The column is topped with a richly detailed finial that includes a weather vane shaped like an arrow with a spearhead at the apex.
