Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on the remains of the Niddrie Fire Clay Works. It is understood that these works produced items of sanitary ware such as toilets and sinks etc and were in operation from the early to mid 20th century. The excavation identified a number of key features associated with these industrial remains including kilns, a flue system, a chimney base, a railway siding, surfaced external areas and a number of buildings. An early kiln identified on the site was of the circular beehive type, with larger rectangular downdraft kilns being constructed as the works expanded. These rectangular kilns appear to have been continually developed and improved with three phases of flue system being evident. The results of the excavation were in keeping with a sequence of development and expansion as indicated on Ordnance Survey map editions from 1908 to 1934. |
