Description
The remains of two annealing ovens are located at Kelston Mills, dating back to the 18th century. The site features two tall, pylon-shaped chimneys, each approximately 25 feet high, made of rubble with ashlar dressings, coping, and quoins. The eastern chimney has through arches running from east to west, while the western chimney has arches from north to south. Above these arches are tall, narrow openings where balance beams once existed. The western chimney shows a 'V' mark indicating a former outbuilding on its south side. Attached to the north side of the eastern chimney is a single-storey lean-to with a double Roman tiled roof. A linking wall between the two chimneys has two segmental-headed openings. The brassworks was established in the 1760s by William Champion of Warmley and was sold to the Bristol Brass Company in 1769, operating to produce batteryware until the 1840s.
