I assume that this should go into some form of drainage. This may
explain why the concrete lintel below is rotting away.

Anyway, there is a rainwater down pipe close to it. Is it acceptable to
put some kind of joint in the downpipe so that the copper pipe drips
into it? The drain below is where some of the condensate will go
eventually.

Guttering is "interesting" and I'm not looking forward to fixing it
although it looks as though most of the grass growing out of the shonky
joints has been killed by the recent hot dry weather.

This is looking up at the copper pipe sticking out of the wall.

This is in the category of "less broken than some other things".

Likely it's not had any inhibitor in it for years.
