2/20 Chilsworthy brick kilns and
chimney
II
Brick kilns and chimney. Probably began working after 1906, served by railway by
1914. Slatestone rubble with granite and brick dressings.
Plan: Hoffman kilns. 2 sets of rectangular kilns, with the chimney about 10 metres
to west. To the east are the machine house and drying sheds with offices, much
altered ; the railway ran along the north of the site. The claypits are to the
south, formerly with a tramway over the road.
The kilns are rectangular on plan, with battered walls in slatestone and granite
rubble, with brick quoins. Each side has 6 round arches, narrow, with brick heads ;
the front of each kiln has larger round arches with brick heads. The kilns are
vaulted inside with ventilation holes along the top of the roof.
The chimney is in slatestone rubble with granite plinth with granite quoins; circular
and tapered, with brick top and cornice. There is a round-arched inspection hole at
the base and an arch inside formerly leading to an underground flue.
This is the most complete brickworks in the area. The kilns operated the Hoffman
continuous process.
