Two pots shot in Crewe

Living in the (originally) Victorian Railway Town of Crewe in Cheshire for about 15 years really helped spark and stoke my fascination with Chimney Pots. These important pieces of largely Victorian and Edwardian heritage, sitting in plain view, slowly crumbling and being replaced as the decades progress.

In Crewe, find the Victorian terraces and lift up your eyes. Several hours of Chimney Pot spotting can be had there.

Here we have a Louvre insert mounted into what I suspect is a Ring Topped Cannon Pot. Shadowing it I reckon is an octagonal sided Big Bishop Pot.

A twisted Chimney Pot in Taunton

Having to kill several hours in Taunton during October I did a circuit around the town centre. As my eyes lifted up unto the rooftops, as they do, I noticed this beauty. A twisted exterior, appearing to be vents in themselves with a Leeds 3 Bowl on top. From what I've seen online, they're usually an insert on the top, but this appears to be a put-on. Keeping it compay is I think a beaded roll-top pot. If you know the proper names of these pots, do comment!
