Statement of Interest

Refurbished 1997. Originally associated with the nearby tile works (now demolished). Bricks produced here went towards the construction of the adjacent cottages (see separate list entries for Brick Cottage & Roselea and Langalchorad Cottages, Kingarth). Despite their picturesque appeal, the bricks proved too porous for extensive use and production soon dwindled. Nevertheless, the tiles produced here were thought to be of high quality and production continued until 1915. Besides its obvious historical interest, The Tileries retains a degree of architectural appeal with its timber glazing, timber panelled door, small-paned fanlight and dated porch.
