Despite the somewhat prominent location in the "Shakespearean Gardens" in Stratford Ontario, there is surprisingly little online information about the mill to which this chimney once belonged.
Fortunealy a plaque is located on the chimney. It reads:
THIS CHIMNEY WAS ERECTED IN 1910
BY ET DUFTON
FOR HIS WOLLEN MILL
OPERATED FROM 1874 TO 1919
BY THE DUFTON FAMILY

Apparently the mill burned down in 1919.
