Abstract: |
The Treskilling clay dry was constructed in the early 20th century and consisted of 6 settling tanks, a drying pan and a linhay. The second phase of the building probably dates to the mid 20th century and entailed the extension of all three elements including the addition of two settling tanks, giving a total of eight. Following some alterations to the linhay in order permit transfer of clay in the form of slurry, operations at the clay dry ended, probably during the 1970s. Following its purchase by the current owners, the area of the Phase 2 drying pan and linhay was converted to a workshop and significant parts of the fabric of the building were removed. The 2010 fire has continued the process as do the ongoing Phase 4 reconstruction works. However, the parts of the building, encompassing most of the original Phase 1 construction and the Phase 2 additional settling tanks, remain in reasonable condition at present. |
