Telford & Wrekin Council workers have been renewing the mortar in the 209-ft high Stirchley Chimney, which has stood in central Telford for more than a century and is today maintained as a reminder of the area's industrial heritage.

The work was delayed due to the lockdown but resumed this week, though a kestrel nest threatened to complicate matters.
