Despite 5 years of constantly keeping my eyes open for items for the website, I had managed to fail to spot something that’s about a minutes walk from my own house !
This Stench Pipe must date from around the time of the construction of Redcar East (late 1930’s)
Its stamped “Adams Ltd York” which shows it was made by Adams Hydraulics, who still exist today.
Stench Pipe, Laburnum Road, Redcar

You’re quite the stench pipe hunter these days.
As Chris says Adams are still trading, a lot of their equipment, some of it dating back a very long time is still giving good service in the water industry, their gear is almost bomb proof ! ( I don’t work for Adams but do work in the water industry)
Chris, have alook on my facebook I,ve posted a pic of one of Adams plates that dates from 1957
As a former Laurel Road / Whitby Crescent resident do you have a google maps link for this? x
Should be a ‘Show on Map’ link at the top of every page.
Here it is again though.

This must date back before the 1930s as Adams changed their name in early 1900s to Adams Hydralics
