Stench pipe at The Covey/The Green junction

The disused stench pipe depicted here is situated at the junction of The Green and The Covey on the edge of Surlingham village. It is painted green similar to the colour of lamp posts. Its wire balloon at top is missing. The houses seen in the background are situated along The Green. For a detailed view of the pipe's base see > Link Stench or stink pipes are most commonly made from cast iron and usually painted grey or green and are similar to street lamps at ground level, but tend to be noticeably higher and wider. They are also hollow and commonly have a wire balloon on top. The purpose of these pipes is to vent gas from the underground sewers, releasing it high above street level so as not to offend delicate noses. The pipe seen here was made by Adams Hydraulics of York. The business was founded by Samuel Henry Adams in 1885 and originally known as Adams of York and London. In 1903, the name was changed to Adams Hydraulics Ltd and it specialised in the design and construction of apparatus used in connection with sewerage and sewage disposal works, supplying plants of sewerage and sewage purification. By 1913, there were supervised installations at 150 sewage works in Britain with some of their machinery having been installed at 350 other schemes.
