The Chimney attached to the Boiler House (Site No. 60) was located at SX 45055 68801 and would have been contemporary with the adjacent Pumping Engine House (Site No. 59) and formed part of the same complex. In 2006, it was recommended that the chimney should be repointed where appropriate, and wall heads capped.
During this survey, the lower half of the chimney survives relatively well and is readily interpreted. Vegetation clearance, structural repairs and monitoring should be undertaken. The location of the Chimney is based on the Site Plan Figure No. 7. Other details: Site No. 60.1.
