The ‘weird’ world of an Essex stink pipe superfan
Jenni Kelly from south Essex is a self-confessed stink pipe superfan.
The 75-year-old has long been fascinated by the ornate Victorian street furniture, designed to ventilate the 19th century sewers of Britain, which are often mistaken for lamp posts.
In recent years social media has rekindled her passion and she’s joined with others for what she describes as “a stink pipe revolution”.
Jodie Halford went to meet her.
