What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, erected c. 1900, comprising of fluted pedestal with moulded detailing, cylindrical shaft over with banding at intervals and a saw-tooth profiled crown. Located on a footpath to the east/northeast of Edgeworthstown.

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. This vent pipe now forms a subtle feature in the streetscape of Edgeworthstown and is of some design merit, having been conceived as an aesthetic as well as functional item of street furniture.
