Scope and Content Inchcoonans Tile Works, Errol, Perthshire This works was built to manufacture agricultural drainage tiles, but also made plastic-clay bricks, and probably also pantiles for roofing. In 1976 it had two round downdraught kilns, one rectangular downdraught kiln and a small Hoffman brick kiln. This view shows one of the two round downdraught kilns. In this type of kiln some air is admitted at the top of the kiln to complete combustion of the fuel. The pipe on top of this one admits air, preheated by waste heat, to reduce fuel consumption. To the left is a pile of the clay drainage tiles being made in the works at that time. Subsequently the manufacture of such tiles ceased. And the works was re-equipped to make facing bricks.
