Carfin Tile Works

Named as 'Tileworks' on 1st edition 6-inch Ordnance Survey Map (Lanarkshire, (survey) 1859, sheet XII) centred on NS76903 58578.

Depicted and named 'Clay Pit' (NS76886 58520), unnamed clay pit (NS76877 58597) and 'Kiln' (NS76904 58614) and four roofed buildings, three of which on the site of the later Carfin Brickworks (NS76811 58615; NS76821 58636; NS76830 58622, NS75NE 49.00).

By 1897, the tileworks clay pit at NS76886 58520 had been abandoned and the kiln and L-shaped building (at NS76877 58580) demolished, as have the other three roofed buildings on the Carfin Brickworks site (2nd Edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, Lanarkshire, (published) 1899), sheet XII.SW).
