Camperdown Works, Industrial chimney and mill complex in Lochee, Scotland.
The Camperdown Works spans 35 acres and features a 282-foot brick chimney known as Cox's Stack, designed to resemble an Italian campanile.
Built between 1861 and 1868, this facility operated as the largest jute works globally, employing 5000 workers and incorporating its own foundry and railway system.
The Works Half-Time School, established in 1884, provided education to local children and later transformed into a Boys Brigade hall for community activities.
Following closure in 1981, sections of the complex underwent conversion into residential units, while Cox's Stack remains as a preserved industrial landmark.
The chimney structure cost £6000 to construct and stands as the most notable industrial chimney in Scotland, featuring distinctive polychrome brickwork on an ashlar base.
