Brick & Tile Kiln

Bridgwater Brick & Tile Museum in an analogue image from 2008,

Local clay formed into Red Bricks and roof tiles were fired 5000 at a time in a constant temperature for four days then left to cool for another four days.

At one time there were 1,300 brickyard workers in Bridgwater with products shipped all over the world,
This trade kept the local wharves and quays and public houses extremely busy.

16 of these yards with up to 6 kilns each were dotted around the town,
