What is recorded here
Vent pipe in Ballygrennan wears a little sawtooth crown above its sewage duties. A throne was mentioned at the interview; the poor fellow should have asked which end of the plumbing.
Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, c. 1900, comprising fluted pedestal with moulded necking, and cylindrical shaft having a sawtooth profiled parapet. Now in disuse.
This vent pipe is of significance due to its role in the sewage system, which was installed in Bruff during the late nineteenth century. The pipe forms a subtle feature in the streetscape and is of some artistic merit, having been designed as an aesthetic as well as functional item.
