Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Site of old brickworks. The area to the right of the cycle path is now overgrown with Rosebay Willowherb and other vegetation, but it can be seen (e.g., near the right-hand edge of the image) that there is a distinct mound there.
In fact, the 1:10560 OS map from 1864 reveals that this present-day mound, near the Dalreoch area of Dumbarton, corresponds to the site of an old brickworks (I briefly looked around the area, and a few brick fragments were still visible, although they are not necessarily from the bricks that were made here; I have been unable to find any documentation about the brickworks, other than its appearance on old maps, but some indirect evidence suggests that it may have been called Dalreoch Brickworks). In addition, the 1864 map indicates how material was transported to and from the site; it shows that a crane was been located only about 50 metres to the south-east of the brickworks, standing on what was then the bank of the River Leven. To provide some more context for the location shown here, the point at which the cycle path meets the left-hand edge of this photo is more or less the point at which a track branches off from that path, as shown at 1449530; that photo therefore provides a view of the site of the former brickworks from a different angle. |
