What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, erected c. 1900, comprising of fluted pedestal with moulded detailing having a plain cylindrical shaft over saw-tooth profiled crown. Located on footpath to the northeast end of Granard town centre.

This freestanding vent pipe is of social significance as a reminder of the development of public utilities in Ireland during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century. The fluted base is similar in form to cast-iron lamp standards of the era. This vent pipe now forms a subtle feature in the streetscape of Granard and is of some design merit, having been conceived as an aesthetic as well as functional item of street furniture.
