Description

The chimney of the former Maynard Toffee Factory is a landmark in the Ouseburn Valley. The Toffee Factory was established in 1906 after the conversion of a livestock sanatorium that had been constructed in 1870. The majority of the factory building is now derelict due to a fire; however the chimney remains to contribute to the skyline of the area. LOCAL LIST
