Junction Mill chimney, Ashton-under-Lyne
This spectacular chimney still survives but the tall engine house next to it has been demolished. The canal is the Ashton Canal and the Peak Forest Canal leaves to the left out of sight. To the right is Portland Basin
Junction Mill Chimney
The octagonal chimney, 210 feet (64m) high with an unusual tulip-shaped top was built in 1867 to serve Samuel Heginbottom's cotton-spinning mill which operated from 1831 to 1930. The mill itself was eventually demolished and replaced in recent years with canalside apartments called "Boatmans Walk". In 2000 the chimney was bought by Tameside Council and restored.
