Description
1997. Field survey.
The site is still called Kiln Cottage (previously Brick Kiln Cottages). The brick kilns were in use by the mid 18th to early 19th centuries. It was operated by: William Prior (died 1765), William Prior (or Pryer) senior (died 1771), Henry Prior (died 1824), and Joseph Prior (died 1826).
There are still small depressions in the surrounding ground which is consistent with clay digging. Further information is required on site layout/location of kilns with further intervention if warranted. <1> - <3>
