India Mill Chimney

India Mill Chimney is a Grade II* listed structure built in 1867 for Shorrock Brothers & Co. The chimney is made of brick with an ashlar base and dressings, standing at 300 feet tall in the style of an Italian campanile. It rests on a foundation stone reputed to be the largest single block quarried since Cleopatra's Needle. The massive base is constructed of rusticated rock-faced white stone and features three triply-recessed round-headed panels on the exposed sides, a string course, and a bracketed and moulded cornice that supports a substantial set-off, forming a plinth for the chimney.

The chimney itself is made of red brick with bands of blue and yellow brick, some featuring a diaper pattern. The lower two-thirds of the chimney is panelled, and the neck has a bracketed ledge on each side. It includes round-headed blind arcading on two levels and moulded consoles supporting a prominent cornice, which carries a stone balustrade with urn finials at the corners. The top of the chimney has round-headed blind arcading with imposts and keystones, a very prominent cornice, and a short splayed cap.

Attached to the north side of the base is a low two-storey office, while an arcaded range on the east side links the chimney to the engine house of India Mill, both of which are constructed in matching rusticated ashlar.
