Me and my little brother decided to hide a geocache in an area which, in my opinion, is very interesting and could do with some caches hidden around. It's my first cache and I think more should be hidden around such a historic and interesting area. The terrain is quite difficult to clamber over, not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs as there is bricks, rocks and other broken materials around:-)
Brick kiln at the former Oakwell brickworks. Built between 1900 and 1913, a kiln of the Hoffman type. Pink brick with corrugated iron roof of segmental profile, surmounted by a narrow slightly raised semi-circular canopy with open ends. Rectangular in plan with rounded ends. The walls taper inwards. Two tiers of openings. The lower tier consists of fourteen round-headed entrances to the two parallel segment vaulted furnaces, which connect at the rounded ends. The upper tier of openings comprises ten square openings; on the south side the wall has partially collapsed around one opening. The upper openings have chamfered sills. The Oakwell brickworks began production c1879 and ceased production in the 1960s.
