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 ; 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.
