Putting Stinkpipes On the Map

Stinkpipe Map - Latest version
I was out around Chiswick, Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith this week where, it turns out, the streets are swarming with stinkpipes.


A reminder that this was the location for Steptoe & Son

A new stinkipipe design

it had its name plaque - attached but corroded

then I saw this giant

complete with a name plaque

Henry Edie & Co, The Bow Foundry

and this which I'd already seen in the south east

AC Woodrow & Co

and this

  1. Thank goodness for your blog, I was out walking earlier with my uber inquisitive 5 year old and we found a stink pipe (as we know it now) but we had a full hour of Q but no A before we got home to fire up the google. This one is at the corner of Melrose Road and Viewfield Road in Wandsworth. A basic green pipe.

    1. Glad to be of service...and thanks for the heads up! I'll put that on the map shortly.

  2. I can't get the map to work. Whenever I click on a marker on the map, it just goes to the first photo in the sequence. Doesn't matter where I click...

  3. That's because the pic above is just a screenshot - I still had some tweaking to do on the map - here's a link, should work. Will also put a link into my sidebar. Please let me know if there are any problems!

  4. Ah ha! I live round Streatham way, so if I see any more there, I'll let you know. I feel fairly sure that i've passed some on my travels, but I can't call them to mind at the moment.

  5. I've just tweeted you one near where I live in Shepherd's Bush. Top of Curwen Road, west side, almost at junction with Hadyn Park Road. W12.

    I already knew what it was - no idea how - but it's great to get more info on stinkpipes.
