Full Description
'Old Fishponds'. Set of eight possible ponds, four rectangular ponds in diagonal line and one upside down L-shape. three others to the south.{1} Built over.{2} THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT THESE ARE OLD CLAYPITS. REFERENCE TO THE SALE OF THE BRICKWORKS ARE AT THE ARCHIVES OFFICE IN 1828. SINCE THE PITS ARE PRETTY EXTENSIVE EVEN THEN THE SUGGESTION IS THAT THEY GO BACK TO THE LATE C18 AT LEAST, WHEN THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A BIG BOOM IN BRICK BUILDING EVERYWHERE LOCALLY. {3}
