<p>You might be also enlightened to know about SEWER GAS LAMPS! yes, sewer gas used to light the streets in some parts of the UK. I don't believe that the Turnpike Lane mast is a sewer gas pipe though, why would it have that wider section on the upper half? I think more likely it's a communications mast. Just my opinion :)</p>

<p>Some of the things you hear on mobiles you may be right. There was a lovely pale green stink pipe opposite where I lived on Brampton Road and, in them days, we called them - Stink Pipes</p>

<p>There are four on the Harringay passage: one is between Beresford and Allison, I can't remember the others. Most stench pipes were installed at the same time as the main sewers were built in the mid 19th century and as such can be rather elaborate. Ours are quite dull but I spotted some nice ones near London Fields. I'm sure that somebody once told me that the Victorians experimented with using the methane as a form of gas lighting and thus there are stench pipes that double as gas lights…</p>

I have never quite beleived this! You can also trace the path of the underground rivers via the stench pipes - these were all vented after the Fleet exploded in the 1840s.</p> There are some older model st…tag:harringayonline.com,2012-04-16:844301:Comment:3570062012-04-16T11:26:28.329ZJohn Dhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/JohnD

<p>It's huge, isn't it. I'd have to include a mobile phone mast in my options, but haven't seen one this size before. So, other options - could it have anything to do with the digital switchover? A signal booster? Or, police/emergency services comms?</p>
