Adel Towers
Evening all,
I am hunting for any photographs or information about Adel Towers.
I remember them as a child and remember them being demolished in 1966/7.

As chairman and only member of the world famous Leeds brick collectors club I thought I knew all the claypits and there we have another one opposite Adel Towers!!
Oddly though AFAIK brick was not used to construct housing in Adel?

Re: Adel Towers
Have you seen the Screen 3 Productions facebook page- it's lots of bricks, I can get more details for you, from Andy if you wish.

Tile house and tile lane may be a clue clay tiles were produced at the clay pit?warringtonrhino wrote: ↑Thu 02 May, 2019 8:56 amTHe Leodis website has one photograph with comments by the owners grandson, the gardeners family and someone who knew the building before it was demolished.

I don't know what the conduit from Eccup to Headingley waterworks was lined with nor what the second aqueduct (just by where the ring road is now)following the stone aqueduct that remains in Adel woods was built of but it could have included brick from this clay pit?
Fascinating

The map is dated and in turn refers to the clay pit as "old" so this fascinates me.
I refer to "Penmorfa" for their super illustrated catalogue of Brick producers!

Re: Adel Towers
Andy is a professional filmmaker, he made a series of films about people with odd hobbies, one was about a man in Barnsley who hunts for bricks.
He is going to send me some good photographs and the film, if you want to message me your details I will post them to you.
