Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
Is it still standing? I thought I had seen a pic of its demolition. Must have been mistaken, no wonder I couldn't find it!

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
I was wondering if there is a list of listed chimneys?
Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
Never seen a single list of chimneys. Usually they are part of a towns listing. eg:
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk ... re/burnley
If you knock the end bit off you get.
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/
Still a formidable list to go through.

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
P's list is of buildings listed under the Ancient Monuments Act. Ellenroad stack and Bancroft are listed, there will be others. Historically chimneys were often not listed as they were mistakenly seen as high maintenance, for instance at Jubilee, Padiham and Dee mill at Shaw only the engine house was listed. I remember having a big argument with Her Majesty's Inspector of Ancient Monuments in about 1980 when he criticised my mate Robert Aram for collecting redundant stacks. Listing at grades I and II is now a local authority responsibility. What is not generally known is that anyone can propose listing for a structure even if they don't own it.

Hmm, not sure that that's the case, unless it's changed very recently. I think it's still down to the Secretary of State (not that he/she deals with each one personally of course).Stanley wrote:Listing at grades I and II is now a local authority responsibility.

If it is they've changed it again.
You realised how big the jib was on Norman's Priestman crane when it was down on the ground for maintenance.

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
I understand that some of the early coalmines had "chimneys" that burnt coal to improve ventilation flow. Only a very small section would appear on the surface. To my mind it would be rather difficult to knock one of these down or would digging it up be more correct?

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
Very old method of ventilating mines P, a coal fire at the bottom of a separate 'upcast' shaft. The 'chimney' was just a short stub to get the smoke away from ground level.
I forget the name of this stack at Carlisle but I was told that when it became redundant the council bought it and connected it to the sewer system to ventilate it. Could be still in use.

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
I remembered! Dixon's chimney.
Peter Tatham took this stack in Littleborough down in 1967 and replaced it with a tin chimney.

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
I don't suppose it's recommended practice these days but this is still one of my favourite pics for bringing home just what the attraction is of climbing chimneys!

Norman Sutcliffe doing a bit of tidying up at Ellenroad. This Komatsu machine was one of the oldest they had and Norman usually used it himself.
