Sewer Ventilation Pipe On Street Corner Adjacent To No 13 (Not Included)

The sewer ventilation pipe, located on the street corner adjacent to No 13, dates from around 1900. This tall iron pipe is designed to resemble a Classical column, featuring a pedestal, a moulded base, and an enriched capital. Halfway up the pipe, there is a moulded band that conceals a joint. Above the capital, an ornate arrow points southeast to indicate the direction of the sewer. At the top, there is a ball with open lugs facing in all four directions, which is surmounted by a tall finial encircled with a coronet. Although there is no maker's name on this pipe, a similar one located at the west end of the High Street is inscribed 'W. MACFARLANE & CO. GLASGOW'. Identical pipes were likely installed when the East-the-Water sewers were relaid in 1901-1902.
