The Gas Works — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Tapering square-profile brick chimneystack, built c.1840, with stepped cornice. Abutting ruinous random coursed stone building to south. Situated in the grounds of the former distillery.

This chimneystack, situated near Moorepark Street and the Camcor River, is a physical reminder of Birr's distilling heritage. The detail applied to the chimneystack in its stepped cornice reveals the aesthetic thought and design that was applied to this functional structure. Though in a ruinous state, it remains an important and worthy architectural element within the town of Birr.
