Légende

The Kiln, London Docks, 1845. 'Near the north-east comer of the Warehouses is a door inscribed " To the Kiln," where damaged tobacco is burnt; the long pipe which carries off the smoke being jocularly termed "the Queen's Pipe." In this Kiln are burnt all such goods as do not fetch the amount of their duty and Customs charges; and herein have been consumed tobacco, silks, satins, tea, beef, pork, and 45,000 pairs of gloves - the latter at one burning!' From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
