Northern slope of Slaughteryard Hill, approximately 15m upslope from the smelter site (see location #253) on the northern side of an old road formation. This road now has a gravel pit on the south side. It appears that this area was originally one of the highest parts of Slaughteryard Hill. The site is littered with red brick fragments but there is no foundation remaining. The chimney was linked to the smelter by an underground stone flue. The remains of this can be traced from the western side of the large tailrace/sludge channel. Above the channel, up the hill to the chimney site next to the road.

In March of 1882 the Carrick Range Antimony Company was formed and they proposed to build a smelter. It appears that the smelter was imported from Melbourne Australia. However, the smelter required a tall chimney to generate the draught for the furnace. To save on bricks, and underground stone arch flue was constructed from the smelter to the top of Slaughteryard Hill. At the top of the hill a 40 foot (12m) brick chimney was to be constructed. The company called for tenders for the supply of 20,000 bricks for the chimney. It is unclear, but some of the bricks may have been used in part of the smelter construction as well as in the chimney. It seems that the bricks were locally made, probably of Bannockburn clay. The clay would have been mixed in a pug mill then pressed into wooden moulds. The 'green' bricks would have then been fired in a clamp kiln (see photo). To date the author has no information on who or where the bricks were made.

In March 1883, the Carrick Range Antimony Company went into voluntary liquidation. It is unclear what happened to the smelter, but the chimney remained as a local landmark.

In October 1883 during a storm, the chimney collapsed. The bricks were then purchased by Mr J L Scott of Cromwell who used them to construct the ovens for his bakery business. The ovens were used until the bakery closed in the late 1940's. When the old Cromwell town was demolished, the ovens and the bricks were dismantled. They are now under the care of 'Old Cromwell Incorporated'
