Is that the one that was rebuilt, or the one that looked much older, that has collapsed?

Its all good closing the road but there is no other way round for folk with cars, Bridge Street was the only entrance/exit.

Some very strong words from Margaret to Lawrence there.

She came down on him like a ton of bricks.

The kilns are both grade B listed (see ) and Scheduled Ancient Monuments ( (PDF)).

We went past a couple of times and saw what I can only describe as a youth sittiing bored on scaffolding with a normal sweeping brush, sweeping away with no real direction or interest. While I am not implying this caused the collapse, it certainly backs up the previous suggestion.

If someone can come up with suitable wording, I can facilitate an online petition, if that will help.

I for one think that the kiln should be rebuilt.

How about ..

"Give us back our bleeding kiln ... or we'll do the same to YOUR Parliament Building!"

It's kindo to the point, isn't it?
