Sewer vent. 1874 for the Metropolitan Board of Works, George Vulliamy supervising architect to the
northern outfall sewer extension engineered by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and opened that year. Cast iron

the embankment. Tri-partitie composition. Tapering fluted lower section above a quarter-circle
moulding with an arch and arrow motif, and below a cable moulding, lotus leaf frieze, and embossed
upper band. The 15' shaft sports three moulded bands, and the coved terminal is capped with
trefoil-pierced cresting. The base bears a plaque with the inscription J STONES AND CO/
