Scope and Content Broadlie Brickworks, Dalry, Ayrshire This was the first of three common-brick works in the vicinity of Dalry which were built to make pressed-clay bricks from the coal-measure clays - blaes - deposited as waste during coal and ironstone mining in the 19th century. This view shows the single 26-chamber Hoffman regenerative kiln at this works, with the tall chimney which provided draught. The clay preparation and brick pressing were carried out in the buildings on the right. This works was built at a time when rendered brick construction was taking over from masonry construction. The works closed in 1992 owing to a decline in demand for pressed-clay common bricks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
