BARTON UPON HUMBER

711/1/10002 HOE HILL 05-NOV-04 Group of summer drying sheds at Willi am Blyth Hoe Hill Yard

GV II Late nineteenth century with possibly some earlier twentieth century rebuilding. Open timber construction on quarry-tile post pads with pantile roofs. 8 long open sheds in a row standing to south of the office/lobby (q.v.). These sheds are built in a simple timber technique and provide the open shelving to hold tiles which are formed in a moveable machine which is wheeled up and down the open passageways. The tiles are stored until the appropriate moment for them to be moved to the kiln (q.v.). Sheds appear in the same position as these existing ones on the 1908 OS map, surveyed in 1886 and revised in 1906, and in a probably earlier C20 aerial photo on display in the office at the yard. These items form part of this very significant evolved industrial complex which with its associated Blyth yard at Ings is 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 drying sheds for storing the formed tiles to the kiln for firing them with its office/lobby for the site foreman and for those supervising the kiln firing.
