There were three chimneys on the property. If you don’t believe me, check out the banner image at the top of this page!
One had not been used for 50 -60 years and we have decided to remove it entirely. The middle chimney had been rendered at some point. The roof timber around this chimney had rotted. so there had obviously been a problem at some point with this one. This has been taken down and will be re-built in stone (as it was originally). The third chimney was built of stone, but was a bit fragile. With men working underneath it, we have taken the decision to take this one down to and rebuild it.
Thus we will go from three chimneys to two, but at leasat they will match.
- There were three chimneys ornginally. One is being completely removed as it is no longer used (far left), the other two are being re-built (the middle and far right).
The stones from the old chimney have been cleaned and stacked on a pallet ready to go back up.
