Somerset Brick and Tile Museum

The museum contains exhibits displaying traditional brick manufacturing tools, methods, and processes used in Somerset's industrial past.

The site features a preserved 19th-century pinnacle kiln that operated until 1965 as part of the former Barham Brothers' industrial yard.

The museum documents Somerset's brick and tile production, which employed 15 percent of Bridgwater's population during the 1840s.

Located at East Quay with six parking spaces, the museum opens every Tuesday and requires visitors to book their tours in advance.

The facility houses the Chandos Glass Cone from 1725, which transformed from a glass kiln to an iron foundry before brick production.
