No!  This is at the back of the house, Gas comes in at the front and water too.  The water supply is relatively new though so I suppose it could be an old water supply (did they use to use metal pipes for that?) I will see if I can have a look at one of the neighbours manholes and see if they have one too. Martin

Title: Re: What is this? Post by jenki on Jul 29th, 2005, 12:06pm i'd have a stab at water pipe..  last house i did the pipe ran along the back of the houses in line with the sewer, looked remarkably similar to that.   (lazy gets could have gone around the man hole though)

Martin turn a mains tap on to see if you can hear any noise in the pipe but leave the plug in or you might not hear much for the water draining away ::) ::)
