The Chimney at Addenbrooke's Hospital - Hills Road, Cambridge, UK - Unique Chimneys and Chimney Pots on Waymarking.com

In January 2006 W.G. Cannon described the chimney as follows (website below) in a tribute to the architect Dr S. Cusdin, known as 'Teddy':

'I am describing the history of the early years at Hills Road because so much of it involved the imaginative and practical skills of Teddy Cusdin. For instance, the famous, some might say infamous, chimney; a total necessity given the planning requirement for its height and the boilers it had to serve, was built in two weeks, using a continuous concrete pouring technique working day and night, a system not previously used in this country.'

The ridges in the concrete and twin chimney tops are unusual and the chimney has a quite rightful place on the location map of the hospital.
