Sewer ventilation pipe opposite entrance to Torrington Lane . Probably 1901-2. Engineer was Baldwin Latham of Parliament Manisons, Victoria Street, Westminster; contractor E. Ellis of Bideford. Tall iron pipe designed to resemble a Classical column with pedestal, moulded base and enriched capital; halfway up, a moulded band disguising a joint. On top of the capital is an ornate arrow pointing south to indicate the line of the sewer. This in turn is surmounted by a ball with open lugs facing in all 4 directions. On it stands a tall finial encircled with a coronet. The shaft is moulded with the heavily-overpainted name of a Glasgow firm, which appears to be the same as that on an identical pipe at the far end of Barnstaple Street. A third pipe of this type (with no inscription) survives in Ashley Terrace and there is a fourth (without the coronet) at the top of High Street, this being inscribed W. MACFARLANE & CO. GLASGOW. This pipe and the one at the end of Barnstaple Street probably date from the re-laying of the East-the-Water sewers in 1901-2.
