As far as I know, this is the only stink/stench pipe that survives in Rhuddlan. It stands at full height, and has a damaged "crown" at the top. Located on Princes Road opposite the junction with Grenville Avenue. What I thought was barbed wire spiralling around the pipe, on closer inspection turned out to be Christmas fairy lights! According to the almost totally illegible nameplate, it was manufactured by 'Ham Baker & Co. / Limited/ Engineers / Westminster' whose inscription was decoded thanks to this photo by Adrian S Pye: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7214575 Image
