Campaigners reluctantly accept' need to reduce height of Stonebridge Mills chimney by six metres

A Victorian chimney in Leeds - seen as a significant local landmark by campaigners - is to be shortened due to safety fears.

The 33-metre structure, which is more than 150 years old, is part of the Grade II-listed Stonebridge Mills in Farnley, which is being turned into homes as part of a 25m redevelopment.
