The New River was opened in 1613. It brought drinking water into London form the countryside to the north. The chimney was part of the Maynard's Wine Gum factory that finally shut in 1998. The buildings are now used by a carpet warehouse (OCC-Oriental Carpet Company).Note the white rectangular mobile phone transmitters on the chimney and the transmitter and buildings at Alexandra Palace in the far distance.
