cast-iron columns marked Lankester, Founder, Southampton. Roofs supported on wooden
trusses of wide span.
Boiler and Engine House Two steam boilers, one dating from 1897 now converted to an oil
tank and a more modern oil burning one. A steam engine for working the brick making
machinery is situated adjacent to the boilers. It is a horizontal engine by John Wood
of Wigan circa 1885 with modifications by Tangye of Birmingham circa 1907. The brick
production machinery comprises a vertical pugmill with brick extrusion and wirecutting
facility. It was made by Bennett and Sayer of Derby in circa 1890 and installed 1897.
A second mill was removed circa 1930. there are also various hoppers and an electric
brick hoist.
History This appears to be the last steam driven brickworks remaining in England. The
kiln appears to be the oldest remaining example of a Staffordshire type continuous kiln.
