Kiln Road

Street guide, Fareham

Kiln Road takes its name from the brick kilns that were once a major industry in this part of Fareham. The road runs through a residential area south of the town centre, connecting to the Wallington area. The brick-making connection is significant: Fareham was known for its distinctive red bricks, fired from local clay, which were shipped from the quay to building sites across southern England and beyond. The road itself now has a mix of twentieth-century housing with no visible remnant of the kilns, but the name preserves an important piece of the town's industrial heritage. The street is quiet and residential, serving as a local access road rather than a through route.
