Chimney built by the former Horeb, Star, Blackthorn or Eclipse Brickworks to serve the Hoffmann Kiln in 1907. Although there is little difference in principle, early Hoffmann kilns had a central chimney; later examples, as this one, have a detached chimney, though connected by an underground flue.
The chimney is about 2 to 3 m square and about 30 m high, slightly tapering. Red bricks laid in English Garden Wall bond. Strengthening angles at each corner, with tie straps at 20-course intervals. Large cornice formed of 6 corbelled courses near the top. At base the chimney wall is 3 bricks thick, and reduces in thickness with internal steps at about 6 m intervals. At the foot of the chimney at the N side there is a lighting opening. The chimney is connected to the kiln by a large underground flue but no above-ground connection remains. The roof of the kiln originally extended to the chimney.
Listed as a fine example of a brickworks chimney which is part of a group with the Hoffmann Kiln.
