Description
Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, c.1900, comprising fluted pedestal having moulded necking, and cylindrical shaft over having moulded bands to parapet. Road fronted on concrete footpath.
Appraisal
A vent pipe of significance for the associations with a sewage system developed in Kilkenny in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Raised elements together with a profiled parapet indicate the equal importance placed on aesthetic effects as well as functionality.
