Description
The sewer vent pipe, built around 1894, is part of Chichester Corporation's sewerage system and was likely manufactured by MacFarlane & Co. of Glasgow. Made of cast iron, the pipe stands approximately nine metres high and consists of two cylindrical columns formed from two conjoined lengths of pipe. The lower section features a moulded plinth and connects to the upper section with a flanged joint. The upper section has a moulded capital beneath a possibly fixed arrow wind vane, a spherical head with a ball fitting that includes four circular vents, and an ornate finial that would have originally included a crown.
