Description



BIDEFORD

SS4526 TORRINGTON STREET, East-The-Water
842-1/7/268 (West side)
04/02/91 Sewer ventilation pipe opposite
entrance to Torrington Lane

GV II

Sewer ventilation pipe. 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 (qv). A third pipe of this
type (with no inscription) survives in Ashley Terrace (qv) 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.
