Fancy turning a Grade II-listed Victorian chimney into a “one-of-a-kind” home? Grand Designs fans get bidding: Bolton’s Barrow Bridge Chimney is for sale for £300,000 by modern method of auction, complete with full planning permission to transform it into an unusual house.
The 260-feet-tall (79m) local landmark stands proud above the treeline, visible from miles in the distance. It was built in 1863 as part of the Halliwell Bleach Works, a textile bleaching facility. As part of the Dean Mills complex, it helped to establish Bolton as a centre for cotton-spinning, bleaching and finishing.
