Rayne - Iron Foundry Chimney

Not the most scenic view around Rayne but an important part of our history. The former Rayne Iron Foundry was a major local employer over many years and features on the Village Shield. The factory closed some years ago and the site is now, in June 2008, being demolished ahead of redevelopment for housing and offices.
