Re: Found on a roof
Something HVAC to do with the Odney Club, perhaps?

Re: Found on a roof
To me it looks HVAC or plumbing related, never seen one before though.
Perhaps it MIGHT be worth enquiring of of the owner/occupier of the property what the item is for ? They might say "private" or "nothing to do with you" but it can't be that private if exposed to public view. Or perhaps a drone flight could take more detailed pictures, perhaps including name plates or other data, or temperature readings. |

Re: Found on a roof
A superheater for a domestic boiler?

Many forms of superheater and economiser existed for steam boilers, but all were intended to be surrounded by hot flue gases, not to be partly exposed to the outside air. |

Re: Found on a roof
Another view from the front of the club. I thought maybe something to do with oil fired heating system but no idea really.

Re: Found on a roof
2012. Looks like it's been modified since...
Do I spy a pair of pipes creeping round the base of the chimney? Maybe it's the expansion pipes of 2 hot water storage systems? The narrow bit is the pipe. The thicker part is probably lagging. |

Re: Found on a roof
I think it may be something to do with a "green" heating system.

Re: Found on a roof
Could it be a foolproof pressure release system that relies on a 10 metre head of water pressure?

Re: Found on a roof
Looks a bit like an electrically shielded magnetic loop aerial, especially with the gap at the rear.
