No the one on Rhyddings St is much shorter, and they can't fell it like the Highams one no room,
it will have to be brick by brick.

How will they remove the bands especially the one hanging off.If they use a chute to get the bricks down, how do you get the bands down.

Re: Chimney on rhyddings street

Re: Chimney on rhyddings street

Im glad its not me going up there, like retlaw said before the whole chimney looks dodgy.If i can remember rightly the owner of the mill lived down london however it could have changed ownership by now.I think he owned oswald house to.I dont think anyone will fancy climbing a chimney in this snow and ice tho.

Also noticed another potential hazard, anyone who walks down the left hand side of rhyddings street just before the entrance to that mill, watch out for a large slab thats hanging off, that looks like it might fall of aswell.

Just had a wander past, they have put a ladder on the chimney, no sign of anything being took off yet tho.

What do you think they will do? Repair the band and thats it?

Re: Chimney on rhyddings street

Not sure neil, they might just take the top two bands off and take the top off the chimney but i could be wrong.

The top band that was hanging off was removed this morning.I dont know if any of the top has been taken off tho, will have another look tomorrow.Made me feel queasy tho watching the two workmen at the top, i'd imagine theyre on alot of money.
