Chimneypots on a building in Bute Street, Cardiff. A nice matching set.

Looking down from the Lighthouse in the former Glasgow Herald Building in Glasgow.

It is always good to see a chimneystack with a full complement of pots. This is in Haddington, East Lothian. The cream brick is nice to see and presumably originates from a works on the coalfield around Prestongrange not far to the north west.

Established in 1906 by Walter Thomas Knowles, this brickworks at Elland continues to manufacture drainage pipes and chimneypots using downdraught beehive kilns. Today W T Knowles and Sons Ltd is one of only three such manufacturers left in Britain.

I had a trip out today and found a wide range of traditional chimneypots being made in round downdraught kilns. :-)
