Seen at Hilltop Heights - location here Image . The Kingmoor Brick and Tile Works opened in 1896 and closed in the 1960s (Carlisle Encyclopedia http://www.carlisleshistory.co.uk/page33.htm ). It was located to the west of Kingstown Road, in the vicinity of what is now Moorville Drive on the Lowry Hill housing estate Image . The exact position of the brickworks chimney is recorded, because there happened to be an Ordnance Survey trig point there (now destroyed) - see http://trigpointing.uk/trig/11104?b=0&l=0&c=#map .
