Full Description
Site of brick and tile works, opened in the late 18th Century. It was an interesting complex consisting of a single storey rubble and wood building, pantiled roof on a T-plan and a brick and rubble kiln. The downstroke of the T was the moulding shop, the cross stroke the drying shed. The core of the kiln was rubble as was the base of the chimney. Lean-to additions protected the fire-holes and the tops of the chimneys were of brick. A primitive plate-way linked the works with the clay-pit in the cliff behind. Demolished July 1977, though some of the tools were salvaged and are part Aberdeenshire Council Museums collection. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey: a caravan occupies the site, although brick spoil was noted eroding out of the coast edge.
