The Old Tileworks at Barton + Barrow Haven

In the shadow of the Humber Bridge at Barton Upon Humber is The Old Tileworks.  Once a large factory making mainly pantiles for roofing, the site has been redeveloped into an Artisans village.

We visited it on a freezing cold, frosty day.

This is one of the old drying sheds, now used to produce terracotta pots.

Another former tilework's building, still has the narrow gauge rail track for loading

and unloading tiles.  This was probably a kiln. 

Around the site are walls made from surplus pantiles.

The Humber Bridge is just beyond this site.

The lake in front of the Humber Bridge is one of many flooded clay pits in the area.

In the town a former chapel is now a cycle shop. 

The Waterside Visitor Centre is on a wetlands area, formerly the Britag

Chemical Works.  Now reclaimed as an important wildlife area.

This is the Barrow Haven stop on the Cleethorpes to Barton railway line.

It's a single line running a periodic passenger service.

Barrow Haven.  Now a small wharf on the banks of the Humber Estuary but was once

the southern side of a passenger ferry service across the water to Kingston Upon Hull.

A newer ferry service from New Holland replaced it but it too was finally replaced by

The Humber Bridge.

The sign reflects the former use of this yard.
