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 west with the moulding and drying shed behind. The latter had heated floors for drying the moulded bricks before firing them in the kiln, hence the chimneys on the gables. The works closed in 1979 and was demolished soon afterwards.
