A possible site of a brick kiln is indicated on the 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map of about 1888 as Brick Kiln Holt. {1} From the Lincoln Gazette and Times in about 1903 (possibly slightly earlier), in an article entitled ‘Village Life in Lincolnshire by the Author of “Forgotten Lincoln” ’, No.113. – Harpswell. [The author is Herbert Green and ‘Forgotten Lincoln was published in 1898.] In a section about Harpswell Hall it states: An old man living at Hemswell says the bricks of which the old Hall was formed were noted for their dark colour, the clay being so good, and that they were baked in a certain place on one farm still called Brick Kiln Holt. {2}
