Figure 65: Block Plan of Christie's Kiln, Leith.


One quarter of this kiln is on display in the Huntly House Museum, Edinburgh. The block plan is based on measurements taken from this quarter with additional information taken from a photograph of the kiln on its original site. Photograph supplied by Edinburgh City Museums and Galleries. The wicket or door threshold is at ground level. There are no details of the throat arches, connecting the fire boxes with the kiln chamber, or of bag walls within the chamber. The Leith factory was established in 1900 and closed in 1962.
