Guest transit Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 There is a brick one just to right near the canal basin? ...No - it will be exactly behind that "quarter"ad sign and probably only visible when removed. I am sure it had to be left and restored, and will have been made a feature to the entrance? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it must be inside the main entrance (now undercover!) and will have made a nice feature and talking point to all who will pass by!

What was this chimney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sorry got a bit confused there - thought you were talking about this which is nowhere near and clearly much higher than 20'. What was this chimney? Possibly a furnace chimney in the Sheaf Works, which was built by William Greaves & Sons in 1825. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
