Description

This is a chimney built around 1863, made of pennant rubble with brick dressings. It features a round shape with a plinth and a semicircular brick flue arch, topped with a coping of blue engineering bricks. The chimney has a noticeable lean and is likely part of William Butler's Tar Works, established in 1863, which it was connected to by a flue that runs up the hillside. It serves as a prominent landmark in the area.
