About Ascot Brick Works

The Ascot Brick Works, officially the Old Bristile Kilns, is a heritage-listed former brickworks at 197 Grandstand Road, Ascot, opposite Ascot Racecourse. Pottery works were set up on the site in 1910 by Piercy and Pitman; H L Brisbane & Co took over in 1930, when there were two wood- and coal-fired kilns, and two new kilns were built in 1934. The brick works date from 1929 to 1950 and were used by Bristile until it ceased operations here in 1982. The site was entered on the State Register of Heritage Places on 3 July 1992 and is owned by the Government of Western Australia, which commissioned conservation works on the kilns and chimney stacks that were completed by 2024.
