What is recorded here

Octagonal red brick chimneystack, erected c.1880, with yellow brick quoins and stepped brick with metal casing to head. Associated with Erry Mill at Clara.

This piece of industrial architecture forms an interesting addition to the architectural heritage of Clara. Part of the extensive surviving industrial fabric of the former Erry Mill, its brick construction makes for a distinctive feature within the streetscape, while its height has allowed it become a key landmark within the town.
