One of Sheffield's last remaining Webb Patent Sewer Gas Destructor Lamps stands on Brincliffe Edge Road, opposite Union Road. Many cities had these lamps. Sheffield had 84 of them installed between 1915 and 1935. At least 22 are known to have survived to modern times with many of them being listed. This one is looked after by the Nether Edge Neighbourhood group. Also see Image
