Description

Squared-profile saw mill chimneystack, built c.1860, abutting modern single-storey structure. Now used as part of a factory. Random coursed stone walls with coping to chimney. Fire opening to base.

Appraisal

This mill chimney, standing on the site of an old saw mill and in a modern factory complex, continues to be used for the purpose for which it was built. Though lacking in decoration the simple square profile of the stone chimney, tapering into the sky, stands as a monument to the past industrial era.
