J.Stone & Co Ltd

Denmark Hill and De Crispigny Park, Camberwell This was manufactured by J.Stone & Co. Engineers, Deptford, London. It is the finest example of this type we've managed to find. The whole thing appears to be original; the pipe itself is made of four segments, and the crown is intact and in good condition.








other examples of this type exists - Albany Road / Walworth Road; Leo Street/ Old Kent Road; Court Farm Road; outside Catford Station. None are in such good condition as the one in Camberwell, which along with the Catford Station pipe still has its original pipe.

I found a watch given to a
G. Allen by the directors of J. Stone & Co (Deptford) Ltd in recognition of 41 years of service. The watch looks pretty old , but I think Mr. Allen's family would love to have it. If anyone knows this family, please email me at pudavis64@yahoo.com. Also engraved thereafter the initial engravement is the name Bob Little. Perehaps he gave it to him. If you have any information, please email me.

There is a Stink Pipe (Sewage Ventilation Stack) close to where I live in Box, Wiltshire. This is also by J.Stone and Co Ltd, but the pipe (original as far as I can tell) is in one section and the design of the crown on top is different. As J.Stone was not a limited company until 1904 it must be later than 1904. One of the two inscriptions identifying the manufacturer also gives a Registration number 341995 (although Registered Design number 341995 is actually for a wallpaper design). I was wondering whether any of yours had any inscriptions or dates on them - how did you identify the manufacturer? The Box example is Listed (Grade II) - arguably the very fine one you have outside the Maudsley Hospital should have similar protection, but as far as I can tell the Box pipe is the only one in the country which is Listed.
