Structure
A chimney constructed as part of the original steam operated Dobson-designed flax mill (now known as Cluny Warehouse). The huge brick-arched flue leading from the chimney to the mill was revealed under the road during works by Transco in the 1990s. After the chimney went out of use, circa 1900, the base was converted into a blacksmith's workshop. The door is part of the original design, giving access to the chimney for cleaning and maintenance. The top of the chimney was removed prior to World War Two and the chimney void infilled. LOCAL LIST
