Why is this chimmney this shape ??
sorry its a bad pic

Re: where are these gates
 

I think the hill is called Knowle Hill.

Could that chimney be bent with age? I know people call it the banana chimney.

Re: where are these gates
 

Are those gates to Whittaker Park? What were you doing up there?

Re: where are these gates
 

One set of gates on Kirk Road and one set on Barnes Street ??

Re: where are these gates
 

That chimney is in a bad state, its only the bands holding it together, looks like the mortar has crumbled on one side, thereby causing it to lean. The cause is no more Lancashire boilers belching smoke up the up the chimney. The chemicals in the soot get rained on & turn to acid, which rots the mortar. Ever put bands on chimneys from a flying scaffold, believe me its hard work.

The name of the hill may surprise you. Heres a clue: Mick's camera has got lots of zoom power.

:ban:just got it!!!! the hill is a fair way from clitheroe, its is clitheroe you can tell by the pollution its pumping out its MALLOM TARN ...DA...DA.

Re: where are these gates
 

I recognise the hill but if it isn't called Knowle then I don't know what it is called. I recognise that puff of steam too because it's always puffing and always looks like a steam train.

Ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh...close, but too close. The picture was taken looking north from the canal bank at Church; the hill in question can only be seen on a really crisp, clear day, as was friday morning. The chimney is that of the cement works, just outside Clitheroe.

As for the hill itself, here's a clue: it's 1 of 3.

Pen y gent? As a teenager I walked all three 24 miles in 9 hours...

Re: where are these gates
 

The hill in question is Pen-y-ghent. The ordnance survey mapping software on my laptop tells me that it is 694 metres high. I don't know what this translates to in old currency, but as a comparison, Ingleborough is 724m and Whernside is the tallest of the Three peaks at 736m.

The second photo, showing gates, is of the old Mastabar Mining Equipment/NGN Ltd premises on Kirk Road, Church. I went through those gates for nine lovely years.
