Watnall
England

This view was taken from the entrance on the west side. The kilns are numbered 1, 2 and 3 (left to right). No. 4 kiln is situated behind no. 3. At the rear of no. 1 is the puddle-shop, where the bricks were made. Behind are the remains of Watnall Colliery. On the left is the railway embankment of the branch line from the Great Northern Railway which served the colliery and the brickworks, both of which were nationalised in 1947. The brickworks were closed in the spring of 1975.
