It had both round and rectangular kilns, with associated moulding shops and drying sheds. This view shows part of he works from the entrance, with two round downdraught kilns to the right and a rectangular downdraught tile kiln to the left. Note the stockpiles of clay drainage tiles in front of the kilns.
