A much altered group of buildings, with a single cylinder horizontal steam engine with valve gear, which was still in situ in 1976, but disused. This was made by Marshall, works no.38423. There is also a cable-worked railway linking the works with the claypit. The single kiln is rectangular on plan of the Hoffman regenerative type. Bore engine 0.45m by 0.91m, with railway gauge 0.61m. During WWII two men were killed in a bombing raid that partially destroyed part of the buildings. Latterly disused and now demolished.
