Restoration of a Tile Kiln at Piddinghoe, by E. W. O'Shea, published 1982 in Sussex Industrial History (No. 12, article, pp.2-24) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506525] Download PDF
Abstract:This paper is the story of the restoration of a kiln by a group of amateurs whose determination and dedication made it possible. It is primarily a technical paper dealing with the structure and the work involved in restoring it. It is not intended as an historical record of the Piddinghoe brick and tile industry as records available to us are meagre; however Mr. Bruce Osborne is attempting, through his family history described in the next article to fill in the gaps and any further information that comes to hand will be recorded in the survey of Sussex Brickmaking being prepared by the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society.
Round House, Ashcombe: a technical note, by E. W. O'Shea, published 1983 in Sussex Industrial History (No. 13, article, pp.10-13) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506525] Download PDF
Abstract:This building, which appears to have been the domestic unit serving a now-demolished toll house, has some interesting technical features. It is built entirely in brick and is perfectly circular in plan. It is so precise inside and out that either a trammel or drum must have been used to maintain the accuracy. The bricks are a standard stock facing for the outer skin, the colour and texture suggesting that they probably came from Chailey or Hamsey brickworks, the inside skin being of "common" stocks from the same works.
