Scope and Content Frankfield Brickworks, Earnside Street, Glasgow This works was founded in about 1899. In 1967 it was owned by W & J Whitehead Ltd, and had a single Hoffmann continuous kiln making common bricks. This shows the kiln from the south-west. The irregular profile suggests that it may have been the original kiln of c.1899. The piles of bricks beside the arches were used for bricking up the latter during firing. This works was probably built to use clays from the coal measures, brought up as colliery waste, and tipped as bings. This material could be compressed in brick presses, and needed little firing. This works closed c.1970 and has since been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
