William Blyths Tile Works - Barton on Humber

All photographs by Mike Jackson - taken August 1979.


William Blyths operated narrow gauge railway systems at their two Barton on Humber locations.
A JCB is seen here digging the clay and loading into a single skip wagon at their Far Ings Works.



The skip is seen here, passing under the Humber Bridge, and being propelled by RH  260708/48 back to the works.


Once at the works the skip is winched up a steep incline and then emptied into milling machinery.



Looking down the incline.


Locomotive and single skip outside loco shed.


A similar railway system operated at the Barton Works to the east of Humber Bridge.


An empty two skip train running alongside a rough lane/track.


Water filled claypits seen beyond the train which is negotiating some uneven trackwork.


Loading by JCB.


Returning to the works with a full train. Seen crossing a minor road.
