This stench pipe on Kirkleatham Street disappeared a few months ago
Thats surprising considering its the one the council mentioned in an old conservation area document. Can’t see what trouble it was causing anyone.
There is a nice view of it still in google street view for April 2009 – just at the corner of the graveyard.
