Factory Chimney, Cowdy Anthony & Sons, Portadown
This must be the last of the factory chimneys left in Portadown. The factory, originally "Dyers and Finishers", later became the Ulster Laces. It was situated in Thomas Street. The houses, which were on the main street, with the factory behind, have been demolished. This is what is happening everywhere now. The houses were great 3 storey residential buildings which could have been modernised and kept a sense of community in Thomas Street. See
