To the left of the chimney is the 6 storey Firth Street Mills, originally built as a cotton mill but later used by Fred Lawton & Sons Ltd for carpet yarn spinning. To the right is the 5 storey Larchfield Mills, built as a woollen mill. Both mills are now part of Huddersfield University. There was a second square chimney alongside the octagonal stone one but this was dismantled piecemeal.
