What is recorded here

Freestanding octagonal-plan chimney, built c. 1870, standing in the grounds of former Thomond Brewery. Octagonal-plan tapering to a height of approximately fifteen to twenty meters. Common bond yellow clay bricks with four bands of red brick surmounted by concrete coping. Cast-iron vents to the lower stage and copper conductor running up one side.
Originally built with a utilitarian function, this chimney now forms a recognisable landmark within this area of Limerick City. It acts as a reminder of the brewing industry that once existed here.
