It is something of a surprise to see a sewer system this close to the river. The vent pipe bears the mark of William E. Farrer: he started a Birmingham foundry, established in 1896, and produced many sewer and sanitary ironmongery, some of which included supplying railways. They were merged over time and are now a part of the Montgomery Watson Harza group.
