Some pictures from the derelict Cherryton Brickworks, Tulligarth, near Clackmannan, taken 2011 and 2022. The brickworks opened around 1936 and closed in 1976. The Cherryton Brick Company was liquidated in 1977. The works was purchased in 1979 by The Minto Brick Company before the works finally closed around 1980. Many of the bricks pictured below were used in the building of parts of the works, some came from other works, such as the Etna works in Bathville, Armadale, and the related Brucefield brick works at Kennet.
Brucefield works bricks were marked 'Brucefield', 'Kennet', 'Dunsmuir Clackmannan' and 'B Field'. Brucefield brickworks was situated adjoining Brucefield Colliery nearby at Kennet.
Cherryton works bricks were marked Cherryton, sometimes with numbers and later Minto. The brickworks were situated beside Tulligarth Colliery, Tulligarth, near Clackmannan.
The brickworks used slag waste from the pits as the base material to make the bricks and of course coal to fire the kilns. This is why you often find these industries situated close together. Cherryton works was connected directly to the Stirling and Dunfermline railway, which ran alongside the site, and has now been converted into a cycle path.
