Description
The Bottle Kiln and attached factory at Bretby Brick and Stoneware Company is a late 19th-century structure made of red brick with plain tile roofs. The building forms an L-shape around the bottle kiln, which is situated at the corner of the L. It is two storeys high. The south elevation features a 20th-century lean-to that is not of special interest, along with five segment-headed windows on the first floor. To the right, there is a gabled bay with a segment-headed window on the ground floor and three segment-headed windows above. The east elevation has similar windows and a modern vehicle opening. The inner sides of the L contain similar segment-headed doors and windows, along with various lean-to additions. The upper part of the bottle kiln rises from the pitched roof, featuring a moulded band at both the neck and the top. The internal structure of the kiln remains intact, with fire holes at intervals and a doorway, and it has a single skin with an inner domed roof.
