Site of former brickworks.

Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV126593.

Probably established in 1830s, though there may have been small-scale quarrying and brickmaking prior to this.

1827, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV126595.

The brickyard is not shown on the 1st edition os maps, nor on greenwood's map of devon (1827). The brick-works were probably established by captain thomas wentworth buller whose family owned the manor of strete ralegh. There are few records relating to the works after the 1880s, by which time the railway was providing access to cheaper imported bricks. However, according to local information, the last bricks were produced here in 1901.

Evaluated by exeter archaeology in july 1994. Evidence of quarrying was observed at some distance to the sw of the main site at east strete farm. The most substantial surviving features of the brickworks itself were 2 buildings which are shown on the os map of 1888, in addition to the large quarry within bob's close copse (reed).
