Soames Chimney, Victorian industrial chimney in Wrexham, Wales
The red brick chimney rises 73.8 meters into the sky with ornate terracotta panels displaying the letter S throughout its cylindrical structure.
Built in 1894 for FW Soames & Co. Brewery, the structure later became part of Border Breweries following a corporate merger in 1932.
The chimney represents the final remnant of Wrexham's industrial brewing heritage, standing as a memorial to the city's manufacturing past.
Located on Tuttle Street in central Wrexham, the Grade II listed structure maintains its original features through protected status since 1994.
In 2011, this industrial monument appeared on eBay as an unusual sale item, ultimately selling for £1,420 with proceeds directed to charity.
