A rare Victorian 'stink pipe' in Shifnal has been given protected status.
A Victorian Stink Pipe in Church Walk, which is off Victoria Road in Shifnal, has been listed as Grade II by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport..
They were modelled on the pipes widely used for London’s new sewers, which were installed in response to what was known as the ‘Great Stink’ when during the hot summer of 1858, the capital’s unpleasant sewage smell rose to an unbearable level. Where they can be found, ventilation pipes are often cut in half and now resemble bollards, so Historic England say the survival of the full-height pipe in Shifnal is remarkable.
