Northwich Chimney

[Rufford]

Where is the best place/person to get a Northwich style chimney from? I could do with two.

May seem a dumb question but does a Northwich style chimney look like any of these?

I wouldn't have thought Yarwoods bothered making their own style of chimney and that they were much the same as any other.

OK then you pedantic boat people, can someone furnish me with a contact number for someone who makes decent and quality traditional chimneys.

 

I believe someone had one made a few years ago by a fellow forum member?

[IanM]

Wasn't trying to be pedantic, merely suggesting that you search for any traditional looking boat chimney rather than a specific Northwich style one as you might find it easier.

[Rufford]

I just want a nice quality chimney, the ones in the swindlers seem a bit thin...

Past this guys boat a few weeks ago on the Birmingham and Fradley.

 

Have no connection except I liked the look of the products on display.

Simon Wain of Brinklow boats make "proper" riveted chimneys

I believe Andy on Dove makes them as well.

 

Hope you have long arms and short pockets, a quality one ain't cheap.

No such thing as such. Yarwoods used a collar with an odd diameter which from memory was 5.25" as against the standard 6" and small 4 3/4" collars.

I wouldn't have thought Yarwoods bothered making their own style of chimney and that they were much the same as any other.

 

Yarwoods had a foundry and made many of their standard parts themselves, including the chimney collars.

 

On a supplier, I would recommend Micheal Pinnock.
