[18??-1???] Of West Vale.

In November 1872, it was recorded that

The Board of Works of the Halifax Union, having arranged the sewerage of the Poorhouse, Union Street, Halifax, have applied Mr Henry Stott's (West Vale) system of ventilating sewers. The main sewers of the house are connected to the draught of the boiler-fires by earthenware pipes and made air-tight by a simple apparatus made of cast-iron. The draught draws all the sewage-gases to the fires, through which they are passed and taken up the chimney stack. Thus, the sewers are constantly and perfectly cleansed from their poisonous gases, and all parts of the house rendered free from smells

In February 1873, the Bradford Observer noted that

... since the adoption of Mr Stott's plans for sewer ventilation at West Vale, there had been a great improvement in the salubrity of the district and the mortality had decreased

On 30th January 1877, he wrote a letter to The Leeds Mercury in which he said

During the last few months, the town of Oldham has been adopting this system and are ... perfectly satisfied with it as one of the best sanitary improvements of the day.

If there is a place in your town that smells worse than any other, I will undertake to clear and sweeten it by this method; and if I fail, I will give £50 to the Infirmary
