Scope and Content Prestongrange Brickworks, Mining Museum, East Lothian This museum was established by East Lothian County Council in the mid 1970s with as its centrepiece the only surviving Cornish pumping engine in Scotland which had drained seams worked by Prestongrange Colliery. This view shows the Hoffman brick kiln which was the brickmaking component of the Prestongrange Brick, Tile and Fireclay Works, which operated alongside the colliery from c1890. The chimney provided draught for the kiln. As well as this kiln and the associated clay preparation and brickmaking equipment, the works also had 11 round downdraught kilns, coal-fired, which made salt-glazed sewer pipes.
