Tall Chimneys of Dublin

Bag om Tall Chimneys of Dublin

Up until the middle of the 20th century, Dublin had hundreds of tall industrial free-standing chimneys, puffing out smoke and fumes, serving the boilers and steam-engines of factories, laundries, hospitals and other institutions. With the advent of cheap and plentiful electricity, the chimneys became redundant, and were often demolished to save on maintenance costs or to secure some extra space in the factory yard. Now there are only about two dozen stand-alone tall chimneys left in Dublin, and this book provides potted histories of the various companies which used them, illustrated with old and modern photographs and maps. Most of the chimneys are attractive examples of good design, materials and workmanship from our industrial past.
