Description


BARTON UPON HUMBER

711/0/10006 Mill house at William Blyth Ings Yard.
05-NOV-04

GV II
Clay milling house. Mid/late nineteenth century/ early twentieth century/ Red brick with pantile roof. 2 storeys, the ground floor with very thick walls is the earlier and upper floor is the same period as the brick ramp, which has rails for clay hoppers. Inside is early machinery, including 3 three 'worms'- rotating screws for moving the clay toward the extruding mechanisms which form the wet tile shapes.
This is thought to be the earliest and most complete of the 3 mill houses surviving in the Humber Bank yards, and the only one to retain early in situ machinery. The rails are also believed to be contemporary fixtures.
These items form part of this very significant evolved industrial complex which with its associated Blyth yard at Hoe Hill is the only such tilery producing hand-made roof tiles using traditional methods to survive on the Humber Bank and possibly in the country. The process can be seen in its complete form from the mill house processing the clay, through the drying sheds for storing the formed tiles to the kiln for firing them with its office/lobby for the site foreman and for those supervising the kiln firing. Such an extensive survival of an essentially late nineteenth century clay tile works is now extremely rare.
