History
This holding was originally surveyed in 1889 as a conditional purchase by Edward Brayshaw, the fouth son of William and Flora Brayshaw.
Edwards wife Mary, was from the Chalker family, but the site was forfeit in 1892. Henry Barrett acquired the it in 1908, but the history from then on, between the parties, is unclear. The Chalkers may have owned the site after this.
Construction
The chimney is made from heavy granite blocks.
