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!

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.
Looks blended with the slide from this angle
