KILN HILL Tweedmouth

Kiln Hill was once the main road leading to the Old Bridge over the River Tweed at Berwick . (This Bridge has just celebrated its 400th anniversary.) Behind these houses lay an old clay pipe factory, now demolished. The firm of Tennants ran a clay pipe making factory here in Tweedmouth from 1844 until 1915, when it burnt down. It was just across the road from the Tweed Dock where blocks of clay arrived by ship. It was then trundled up the alley to the factory. KILN HILL refers to the kilns in which the clay pipes were baked. One house on Kiln Hill is named Pipe House in homage to this past history.
