Scope and Content Broomhill Brickworks, High Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire Broomhill Brickworks was built to produce refractory bricks, a speciality of the Bonnybridge area. It was probably the smallest works of its kind in Scotland, with a single kiln and a small moulding and drying shed. This view shows the single rectangular downdraught kiln from the north. This had four fireholes, two at each end, two of which are seen in this view. Note the steel reinforcement to hold the kiln ends in. The works closed in 1979 and was demolished soon afterwards.
