Description

The remains of Blists Hill Brickworks, dating from around 1870, are located on the site of earlier brickworks founded in 1851. The structures are built of brick with plain tile roofs. The site includes hot-floor drying sheds that were originally heated by coal fires and waste steam, rectangular down-draught kilns connected to a chimney by underground flues, and clay preparation buildings that once housed steam-powered clay working machinery. Additional features include a canal wharf, an engineer's and carpenter's workshop, and a works office. The site also contains the clay-mine headgear and a steam winding engine shed located on the opposite side of the canal.
