What is recorded here

Freestanding octagonal-plan red brick chimneystack, built c. 1860, as part of the vast industrial complex. It was originally 150 feet high and was reduced by 30 feet in the 1960s. The factory is now in use as a dairy processing building.

The red brick chimneystack, once the tallest in Limerick, reaching 150 feet though lowered by 30 feet, is a local landmark and of industrial architectural significance. The 1872 edition of the Limerick City Ordnance Survey identifies this site as the Landowne Spinning Mill and the chimneystack may have had a mill usage at that point. The Landowne Spinning Mill was built by the Russell family. It was later taken over by the Cleeve family who embarked on the construction of the condensory building. The continued industrial use of the site and the dominating presence of the chimneystack mark it as a landmark building and overall site within Limerick City.
