Scope and Content Former Dunaskin Brickworks (ex Dalmellington Ironworks), by Dalmellington, Ayrshire This brickworks was built in about 1936 on part of the site of the Dalmellington Ironworks, founded in 1847, which closed in 1921, and was dismantled in the early 1930s. The blowing engine houses were retained to house brick presses. This view shows the engine houses, built as a matching pair, the first section on the left in 1847, and the one on the right added in 1865. These both originally housed steam blowing engines, and part of the framing survives. The engine houses are unique survivals from the 19th century Scottish Iron Industry. They are now flanked by brick kilns, a transverse-arched one to the left for making engineering bricks, and a conventional Hoffman kiln to the right, for common bricks.
