The chimney across the canal, Warwick

This is the chimney seen on the right in Image It's at the south corner of the County Council Depot in Montague Road and was first detailed on a map of 1963. That property was shown in outline as Garage on a map of 1952. It seems likely that industry on Montague Road developed in World War II; a map of 1938 seems to show well-watered farmland north of the canal. No smoke has been seen from the chimney over the years. Presumably there was a boiler that heated water; perhaps there was a laundry within the depot. This view is across Nelson Lane, south of the canal.
