City of chimney stacks

Once upon a time, not that long ago really in eon terms- (until the 1950s?) Manchester was awash with stacks from factories and mills. The smoke and pollution they caused would have made a clear view like this impossible.  The main chimney here is part of the electricity sub-station on Bloom Street, though it looks to me more like a 19th century factory of some kind? The white chimneys in the distance, top right, are of the Royal Scots Brewery.
