Chimney of Hydraulic Engine House, Grade II* listed industrial chimney in Bristol Harbour, England

The octagonal brick and terracotta chimney stands near the Hydraulic Engine House, measuring several meters in height with distinctive period construction features.

Built in 1888, the chimney served the Hydraulic Engine House, which powered the dock's mechanical equipment through an advanced water pressure system.

The structure represents the engineering achievements of Victorian Bristol, when the city developed innovative solutions for maritime cargo handling.

Visitors can observe the chimney and learn about industrial heritage at the Engine House visitor center, which opened its doors in 2016.

The chimney remains connected to its original accumulator tower, which used gravity and water pressure to operate the dock's machinery until 2010.
