The fabulous and ornate 77 metres (253 feet) high Wainhouse Tower was originally commissioned as a chimney for the local dye works by John Edward Wainhouse in the late 19th century. The structure was never actually used as a working chimney and as such, it is regarded by many as one of Britain’s finest follies.
