This is one of several Webb Patent Sewer Gas Destructor Lamps that were dotted around the hills of Sheffield burning off methane produced in the city's sewers. It is situated at the junction of Brincliffe Edge Road and Union Road. Sadly an urban graffiti tagger appears to have scrawled his moniker on the glass but the lamp is still burning as the mid-December afternoon begins to give way to nightfall.
