Vent pipe in Commons, County Meath (14321011)

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Cast-iron vent pipe, erected c.1870, with a cast-iron fluted base, and a replacement steel shaft with a crown top.

These sewer vent pipes are unusual and rare in small towns in Ireland. The fluted base is similar in form to cast-iron lamp standards of this era. This vent is particularly unusual in Duleek, as there is little or no nineteenth-century street features in the town.
