13-AUG-03 The Chimney at Horton Kirby Paper Mill

II
Chimney to paper mill. Dated 1881 on east side. Italianate style in form of campanile. Lower part of stock brick, top part of red brick with stone dressings. Each face has two long panels in which are two blocked openings on four levels. The upper part is of red brick with a moulded dentil cornice and above two round-headed arches to each side wih keystones and stone cornice with moulded brackets. The base has plain brick below a moulded cornice. In 1918 a 70 feet circular stock brick extension was added to the top to ensure that emissions escaped from the valley and this was reduced by half in the later C20. This later extension is not of special interest.
HISTORY: Horton Kirby Paper Mill operated from 1830 to 2003 on the site of an earlier flour mill.
