Carshalton: Hawthorn Road
Looking northwest from the junction of Harrow Road, we see a nice example of the ornamental sewer vent pipe, this one of the type with the crown uppermost.

Carshalton: Fairview Road
Near the west end of Fairview Road, where it joins King's Lane at a T-junction, we see the sad remains of one of the sewer vent pipes, from which the entire top, which consisted of arrow, crown and vent globe, has been cut off. I hope they got a good price for the scrap iron.

Carshalton: King's Lane
Some of Carshalton's ornamental sewer vent pipes are in rather obscure locations and not easy to track down. Here the view looks south in King's Lane, with Weihurst Gardens on the left. This pipe seems to have lost its crown, which would have been below the arrow.

Sewer vent pipe, junction Harrow Road/Carshalton Road, Carshalton, Surrey
This shows the top of this vent pipe, one of some 20 noted in Carshalton. Only one similar decorated pipe has been discovered anywhere else, which was in Chester. There are many places that have sewer vent pipes, but this very ornate type is known only at Carshalton (~20 examples) and Chester (1 example).
If anyone knows of any others like this I would be particularly pleased to hear. (note: street lamp for comparison of heights)
