Description
A sewer ventilation column of 1896-1903, located on the north side of Wales Avenue, outside 20 Wales Avenue, 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 maybe designed to orientate 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. There is no visible manufacture stamp, although a number of similar examples in Carshalton are marked with the name ‘W MACFARLANE & CO, GLASGOW’.
