Decorated in splendid livery,
Is this pipe of untold mystery.
Which two colours are used?
blue and gold (cast iron stink pipe)
"Stinkpipes", as they were known, were vents from the underground sewage pipes, used to prevent build-up of potentially flammable - or explosive - gases. Whilst they were often cast with intricate designs, I suspect that few, as initially installed, would have been as flamboyantly painted as this example. Big thanks to whoever is currently caring for this.
