Kiln Yard
Brick kilns, food halls and the city’s newest homes.
For a century Kiln Yard was the city’s brickworks. The chimneys still stand, but the yards between them now hold a food hall, makers’ workshops and some of the most carefully designed new homes in the city.

Living here
This is the city’s most changed neighbourhood. Former drying sheds house a food hall and a cinema, workshops line the old rail sidings, and the new streets are designed around people on foot rather than parked cars.
Still taking shape
Construction continues on several plots, including our own Kiln Works. Buying here early means living with some building work, and getting in before the streets are finished.
Space to work
Many homes are built with work in mind: studio flats with separate entrances, workshops on the ground floor and shared desks a short walk away.

Getting around
Kiln Yard was planned for walking and cycling, with secure bike stores in most new buildings. Buses connect it to the centre; check current timetables with the operator.
