Description

This is a brick and tile kiln, including a chimney, built in the early 20th century for Wilkinson and Houghton Ltd. It is constructed of red brick with concrete buttresses supporting the kiln. The chimney features white brick lettering. The kiln is rectangular in shape, measuring approximately 45 metres long, 7 metres wide, and 3 metres high. It contains eight adjoining barrel-vaulted chambers with openings on each side. The detached square-section chimney is located about 7 metres to the southeast.

The kiln has eight bays on its northwest and southeast sides, with buttresses positioned between the bays. Each chamber has round-headed openings with round-chamfered arches beneath tile hood-moulds and concrete coped walls. There are two openings on the northeast side and one on the southwest side that have doors beneath inserted lintels. The northwest and southeast ends feature similar buttresses, with a pair of smaller buttresses in between. The roof is flat and covered with grass.

The chimney is a two-stage tapered structure, approximately 27 metres high, with chamfered angles and plain, stepped brick bands between the stages. The initials "w x H" are displayed in white brick on the north, south, and east sides of the upper section of the chimney, which also has a brick cornice at the top. A steel girder connects the southeast end of the kiln to the chimney, and there is a flue from the kiln that runs beneath ground level. The kiln ceased operating around 1939 and is noted as the largest surviving brick and tile kiln on the Humber Banks, as well as the only example of this design built in the area.
