Description
The sewage ventilation column on Wallace Crescent in Carshalton was erected around 1903 as part of a system designed by Baldwin Latham. It is made of cast iron and has a circular plan, standing approximately 9 meters high.
The column features two pipes connected by a prominent flanged joint at the mid-point. The plinth base has a moulded top and displays a maker's mark cast in relief that reads ‘W MACFARLANE & CO / GLASGOW’ along with another that reads 'GLASGOW / SARACEN FOUNDRY'. At the top of the column is an astylar capital, above which sits a globe with four flared vents. The finial is richly detailed, featuring a weather vane shaped like an arrow and a filigree crown topped with a spear.
