No. 1 Kiln And Disused Chimney To North-East At William Blyth Hoe Hill Yard

No. 1 Kiln and disused chimney to the north-east at William Blyth Hoe Hill Yard is a downdraft kiln built around 1935, following the removal of a Hoffman kiln that was marked on the 1908 Ordnance Survey map. The kiln is constructed of brick with metal clamping and features side arches for coal firing, which are enclosed within a lean-to and a curved vault. The chimney, originally built for the Hoffman kiln, has been repurposed for the downdraft kiln but is now disused. It was reduced in height by a few feet in the late 20th century, likely when a new operational chimney was constructed in the 1980s. This kiln and chimney are part of a significant industrial complex, which, along with the associated Blyth yard at Ings, is the only surviving tilery on the Humber Bank producing hand-made roof tiles using traditional methods, showcasing the entire process from clay processing in the mill house to tile drying and firing in the kiln, along with an office/lobby for site supervision.
