While driving around north-end Halifax recently, I noticed a large (4 storeys?), free-standing chimney which I had not been aware of before now.   It is in the centre of the block bounded by Isleville, Bilby, Almon and Gottingen, and wasn't visible until the industrial buildings (welding etc.) at the corner of Isleville and Bilby were torn down.  I think this happened last month.  New developments are planned for the area.

A few years ago, after seeing some Chimney Swifts flying by day in the north end,  I spent several summer evenings watching the old Piercey's Building Supplies chimney, to see if they came from there.  I didn't see any, but this is another possible candidate.  I'm not usually  free in the evenings these days.  Would anyone else like to check it out?

Cheers,
