This brickworks was opened in 1907 by local landowner Lady Sarah Hughes-Hunter as the demand for bricks grew due to the growth in the tourist industry. However it was only in operation until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The kiln is a refined version of the Hoffman type, first patented in Germany in 1858, and which became known as a Manchester kiln. It took the form of two parallel tunnels connected by curved sections at each end. The 92 foot chimney stack was outside the kiln structure proper. The tunnels were divided into 16 chambers and once lit the sequence of operations was continuous, new chambers being lit as earlier ones cooled. The site was partially restored by Anglesey County Council in 1998. The chimney is clearly visible from the A5025 just east of Cemaes Bay and a path leads down to the works.
