Mystery Chimney
Situated on a rise at Tanjung Kubong, this 106 feet high red brick stack, known to locals as The Chimney, is an artefact from Labuan’s coal mining era (1847-1912). It is believed to have been built during the time when Labuan was used as a coaling station for ships sailing in the Far East area, and the mined coal was transported by single rail track to Victoria Port. The Chimney was made from more than 23,000 pieces of red bricks that was imported all the way from England. The bricks layering and works are typical of British style.
