Brick chimney stack (IHR no. 10336) is a modern industrial chimney constructed from brick, standing in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The monument represents the industrial heritage of the city during the period of rapid urban expansion and manufacturing growth. Its location at grid reference J3238075630 places it within an area underlain by Mercia Mudstone Group bedrock, comprising mudstone, sandstone and limestone deposits of Rhaetian age, geological strata that lie beneath much of Belfast's industrial core.
The chimney's construction in brick reflects standard nineteenth and early twentieth-century industrial practice, when such structures served as essential components of factories, foundries and power generation facilities. These tall stacks were engineered to disperse smoke and industrial effluent high into the atmosphere, a defining feature of Belfast's industrial landscape during its period of major economic development. The robustness of brick construction ensured durability through decades of industrial operation.
The monument is protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference 4740, recognising its significance within Belfast's industrial archaeology and built heritage. Such chimneys survive as visible reminders of the city's manufacturing past and the infrastructure that supported its role as a major industrial centre in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
