Shaddon Mill was built for spinning cotton by Peter Dixon & Sons in 1836. The Chimney was 305ft high when first built making it the 8th tallest chimney in the world!
Dixon's Chimney and Shaddon Mill was built in Shaddongate, Carlisle, Cumbria, England, by Peter Dixon in 1836. The architect Richard Tattersall was from Manchester.
Shaddon Mill was a cotton factory, the chimney of which became famous due to its height. The chimney was built to be tall enough to prevent the large amounts of smoke generated by the factory becoming noxious to the rest of the city. In its day Shaddon Mill was the largest cotton mill in England and had the 8th largest chimney in the world.
Shaddon Mill became listed in 1949 and the chimney was listed in 1972. Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. provided work for 8000 people in their four mills in the area.
In 1883 Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. went into liquidation and the mill was taken over by Robert Todd and Sons Ltd., who then used the mill for wool production rather than cotton.
Dixon's Chimney, being such a popular and historic structure in Carlisle, was restored by Carlisle City Council in 1999. Originally it was 305 ft tall, but in 1950 it was shortened to 290 ft. The internal diameter of the chimney remains 17 ft 6 in and 10 ft walls at the base.
In 2005 part of the mill was converted into apartments by Story Homes and the other part is used by the University of Cumbria

Here are boards and ropes tying and supporting the A/C units to the side of the building. It was in danger of collapsing and falling over.

Wir waren für eine Woche an der Nordsee. Während wir am Deich entlang gingen, fand ich diese interessanten Strukturen.
We went to the North Sea for one week. While walking along the bank, i found this great structured part. I like the look of it.
This structure covers the Kimmeisui Well, built in 1626, still stands, surviving numerous fire. If one has been here, one could realise it stands apart from the main tower with only stone slabs in between. Guess this is the reason it stays unscathed.
The well is very deep, with the distance to the water surface measuring about 33m, and its well curb was carved out of one stone.
Legend says that Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who constructed the Osaka Castle, dropped gold into this well to purify the water, but the fact is that the Kimmeisui Well was dug by the Tokugawa shogunate and did not exist in the days of the Toyotomi period.

After building the initial treepee I decided it was time to create a living treepee. One that with time, strength would increase and live and thrive for as long as it's meant too. This video is the 6 days it took to build the support structure that will help train the plant life to grow on and up. In time the structure will no longer be needed to support the plant growth and what will be left is the self supporting treepee.
