No the one on Rhyddings St is much shorter, and they can't fell it like the Highams one no room,

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
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.

Chimney should be secure whilst this frost lasts.

Re: Chimney on rhyddings street
