Bottom of a Stink Pipe, one of two found in Lechlade on Thames, Gloucestershire. Set above sewers, they were put there to vent gases. Most date from the Victorian period.

Yesterday spent a lovely evening looking for the source of the River Leach which meets the River Thames at Lechlade. A sheep kindly posed to demonstrate the purity of the spring source at Hammett near Northleach.
