Full Description
{1} Kilns at SP486380 (north end).
{2} Unique transfer arrangements. Three Gyers kilns were erected alongside the railway with a sidings layout controlled from Astrop Siding Box. Gravity working was used and a tippler installed above the kilns at the end of a 240yd long viaduct. Thus the wagons could be emptied directly into the calcining kilns.
