Full Description
A former brickworks is depicted in this location on the 1st edition 6" Ordnance Survey County Series map. The depiction shows the site as comprised of a roughly central kiln with other working buildings and likely brick drying sheds nearby. A large brick clay extraction pit is shown at the western edge of the site. {1}
The site is depicted on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map, although it is depicted as 'disused', indicating the site had stopped production by the time of this survey, at the turn of the 20th century. {2}
The kiln and most of the former brickworks buildings are no longer extant, though the former clay extraction pit at the western edge of the site is clearly visible as earthworks, on the Google Maps aerial photographic layer. Further probable clay extraction pits likely associated with the brickworks lie a short distance to the north-east (see MLI97715). {3}
