What is recorded here

Cast-iron vent pipe, erected c.1870, with a decorative cast-iron fluted base and a plain steel shaft with a crown top. Foundry stamp to base.

These sewer vent pipes are unusual and rare in small towns in Ireland. This particularly vent has the foundry stamp on the base reading, 'Made by Drogheda Iron-works'. The cast-iron base of a similar vent pipe also survives in Bettystown. The design and detail of this vent, together with the cast-iron water pumps in Bettystown of a similar date, contribute to the streetscape of the town.
