Stinkpipe 31 on Parkside
Stinkpipe 31 on Parkside
On the north-east margin of Parker's Piece and opposite Warkworth Terrace, this stench pole has lost most of its light green paint except for a few remnants round the base, and its corona top is hidden by the summer foliage. On the opposite street corners a glimpse of the central police station and (perhaps conveniently for those who fall foul of the law) the elegant Georgian offices of Barr Ellison solicitors. Like many others in the city, this installation is a product of Ham Baker, who had an office in Westminster and a foundry in Tipton.

For this pipe's adventitious use as a training aid, see John Sutton's photo TL4558 : Parker's Piece: making use of a stinkpipe.

Parker's Piece

Parker's Piece is a 25-acre flat and roughly square green common located near the centre of Cambridge and is now regarded as the birthplace of the rules of Association Football. The two main walking and cycling paths across it run diagonally, and the single lamp-post at the junction is colloquially known as Reality Checkpoint TL4558 : Reality Checkpoint, Parker's Piece. The area is bounded by Park Terrace, Parkside, Gonville Place, and Regent Terrace. The Cambridge University Football Club Laws were first used on Parker's Piece and adopted by the Football Association in 1863.
The grass is well manicured and it is known today chiefly as a spot for picnics and games of football and cricket, and serves as the games field for nearby Parkside Community College.

Stink Pipes

Stink pipes or Stench pipes are found above sewers and are there to vent off gases from the sewers below. Most stink pipes date from the Victorian period.
