Cookson's Glassworks Chimney, Mill Dam
On the site of the former workshops related to the operation of Harton coal staiths and electric railway are the remains of a chimney, carrying a date stone of 1865. The surviving structure is approximately 30 feet in height, and 10 feet by 10 feet in plan. Built of brick with a fire brick lining, the chimney has a stone string course about 15 feet from the ground. There is a cement ashlar facing on the north face, to string course level. On the west and south faces are markings from former abutting buildings. The chimney has been reduced in height at some time and is the sole surviving structure from the glassworks which stood on the site in the 19th century.
