Chatton Tile Works (Tillside)
A single disused Newcastle-type kiln stands here. It used to be paired with another kiln to produce tiles in the mid-19th century. The Chatton Tilery included a large clay pit and other buildings were the items - most likely agricultural drainage pipes and tiles - would have been dug, shaped and dried. The site was worked from 1860 to 1890. The kiln has been modified to act as an animal hemmel.
