This is the chimney on the side of the former St Martin's Grammar School viewed from St Martin's Place. Note the impressive 'M' shaped tie bars on either side of the chimney. The carved stone panel in the centre is also an 'M'. The Grammar School was built in 1870 at a time when the South Cliff area was being developed rapidly, however, the school closed in 1922 and today it is a Christian Science Reading Room.
