Red Brick Chimney Stack is a modern industrial chimney located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, at grid reference J3221274172. The structure stands upon Sherwood Sandstone Group bedrock, a geological formation comprising sandstone, siltstone and mudstone laid down during the Ladinian period. This industrial monument, recorded under the Historic Environment Division reference 4738, is protected as a significant example of Belfast's built heritage.
The chimney's construction in red brick reflects the industrial traditions of nineteenth and early twentieth-century Belfast, when such structures dominated the city's skyline. Brick remained the dominant building material for industrial chimneys throughout this period, offering durability and the visual character distinctive to Ulster's manufacturing zones. The geological substrate of Sherwood Sandstone provides stable foundations suitable for substantial vertical structures.
Today, the chimney survives as a testament to Belfast's industrial past and urban development. Its listing under Historic Environment Division protection recognises the value of such structures in understanding the city's economic and social history. As industrial landscapes across Northern Ireland continue to change, surviving chimney stacks increasingly represent key landmarks and focal points within their local communities.
