This cast iron column stands on Kilburn Park road close to its beginning (or end) where it joins Shirland Road. At first I thought it was a supporting column for a former tram systems electricity wires, but I believe it to be too high. (A double decker bus can be seen next to it.) It appears to be of Victorian age, any further information on this would be appreciated Update: It seems that this is a sewer or tube vent pipe, for a discussion about these go here http://www.geograph.org.uk/discuss/index.php?&action=vthread&forum=2&topic=1878&page=0 http://www.geograph.org.uk/discuss/index.php?&action=vthread&forum=2&topic=1878&page=0 Thanks to Penny Mayes and Silk for this information
