711/1/10001 French shed, cottages and attached dry 05-NOV-04 ing shed, workshop and stables at Will iam Blyth Ings Yard
GV II Drying shed. Mid/late C19 (Before 1886). Open timber construction with pantile roof, retiled c1980. The wooden posts of the frame are carried on square quarry-tile pads. This is an indication of the early date and the unaltered structure of this shed. It is known as the French shed from its use for 'French Tiles' which were popular in the late nineteenth century/ early twentieth century. Attached to west is a: Pair of cottages. Late C19. Red brick with pantile roof and central ridge stack. 2 storeys. 2-window range at first floor of 2/2 sashes under cambered brick arches. Door to right. Again attached to south is: Drying shed. Origins from before 1886 much rebuilt 1990 to original timber-framed design. This shed incorporates movable shutters the whole length of both sides. Attached to the south end is: Workshop and stables. Before 1886. Red brick and pantile roof. 2 ranges at right angles to each other. Stable has 3 stalls with brick partitions and fireplace in tack room. These items all appear on the 1887 OS map, surveyed 1886. These items form part of this very significant evolved industrial complex which with its associated Blyth yard at Hoe Hill constitutes the only such tilery producing hand-made roof tiles using traditional methods to survive on the Humber Bank and possibly in the country. The process can be seen in its complete form from the mill house processing the clay, through the extrusion and trimming of the wet clay tiles, to the sheds for drying the formed tiles, then to the kiln for firing with its associated office/lobby for the site foreman and for those supervising the kiln firing.
