I'll have a look - I always thought that that was something else ...I thought there was one (not working) on one of the streets near Manston church, but might be mistaken, I'll maybe take a walk this weekend. Looking again, it is very tall, very tall indeed! What is that?????

Might be wrong but thinking I remember something, not a lamp post, too tall, and with a decorated top - reminds me of and old-type sewer ventilation stack which used to be quite common years back. Must have another look too.

Must have another look too. Had a look at this today - it is what I remember, my earliest memory of it is from days of visiting the slide and swings though it is clearly much older.Coming back to this again - I've just remembered there was one of these outside my Gran's old house (dating from about 1925), so could have been quite common at one time.I'm sure it was a ventilation stack, too small to be for anything other than a sewer though no longer serving that purpose, the little hatch at the bottom is long gone and the inards well made-up with soil and rubble. No old looking inspection chambers or anything look to suggest the presence of a sewrwe or tank nearby, just the newrer ones some way a way.

I'm really sorry if this has been on before...I've read through and I don't think so. But I got MEGA excited at this little beaut on the edge of someone's driveway on Grosvenor Road, just off Headingley Lane...Please tell me this is part of an old gas lamp or I'll feel like a right idiot.
