Looks a bit like an iron waste pipe to me; don't recognise the collar
at all. What happens outside? One option might be to fit a new plastic
pipe through the wall to an existing iron stack outside (which is what
I have). Then you can have nice modern unbodged pipework inside the
house.

Thanks for the reply. I've just posted links to another couple of
pictures of the outside -- see my reply to Adam.

Your idea sounds promising, if I can get the old joint apart on the
other side of the wall without damaging it. How did you fit the new
plastic pipe into the old joint?

Personally I'd remove right back to the stack, including the tee. You
could put plastic into the existing flange and pack it or buy a plastic
to cast-iron adapter (I'd assume that even if yours is asbestos, it'd
still be a similar size).
