Another Chimney

We were in Darwen, Nr. Blackburn today.  Mrs MD was visiting a very close friend of hers who, sadly, has been moved into a care home there.
On our way home we called to have a look at the India Mill chimney.
India Mill was once a textile mill that operated between 1887 and 1991.  The chimney itself is a sight to behold and was designed in the style of  St. Mark's Bell Tower in Venice. 
At 303 feet it’s the tallest remaining chimney in Lancashire. The ledge around the top is also pretty wide as you will see if you take a look at this short BBC film of Fred Dibnah the famous steeplejack climbing to the top.
