Lost Chimney of Sg Lembing

A 10 meters high brick chimney
of a former Steam Plant from the early tin mining era
in Sungai Lembing when electricity was still unavailable.
High pressure steam produced in a boiler from burning of wood
was used to turn machines and pumps at the mine.



If not for a tip by Mr Liew,a retired tin miner,
i wouldn't have had a chance of finding this 100 over years chimney
which was so well camouflage
that my son ask 'is that a tree'.


Now and then.
This is definitely going to be the next attraction of the town.
















A view for the chimney.




well hidden!

Mr Liew's house at Kg Kolong Pahat with a beautiful rock garden,
good enough for bridal photoshoot!

Crazy Chimney demolition

Demolition gone terribly wrong in China.
 

Abandoned Chimney of Broga

The colonial era brick Garbage Burner Chimney
of about 8 meters high still looks rock solid
after all these years.
In the simple life of the good old days
a small burner like this is enough to cater
to the needs of the village.





Rubbish is pour in from the upper hole
and there is supposed to have steps and a platform
to get up there. Metal doors are missing too.
