Condition
Bristile Kilns (fmr), Belmont is in sound to poor condition. The surviving kilns have all suffered severely from efflorescence. Salts have crystallised at the wall face, causing the brick surface to flake off, and there are dramatic accumulations of crystalline salt. (Salt was used for glazing.) There are other problems due to expansion and movement generally, and even the domes, which have not been replaced in modern times, have had to be patched in some cases. It is the arched openings and fire boxes which show the most signs of imminent collapse. The iron bands on both kilns and stacks are severely rusted and in some cases are coming away from their fastenings. The stacks show serious signs of cracking in the brick walls. The timber and iron factory structure is in a fair condition. However, the iron is in most places rusted and the timber beams appear to be rotted. Bristile Kilns (fmr), Belmont, because of its location, is subject to unauthorised access and vandalism.
