Summary

The site of a brickworks constructed within the second half of the 19th century and dis-used by the time of the latter 19th century is visible as a range of earthwork features on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Parkfield Farm. Earthworks of the former brickworks remain visible here on recent digital images derived from lidar data of between 1998-2014.

The site of a brickworks constructed within the second half of the 19th century and disused by the time of the latter 19th century is visible as a range of earthwork features on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Parkfield Farm. The brickworks are not depicted on the Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48, although by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, the brickworks has been constructed but had evidently fallen into ‘disuse’. The site comprises a large irregular shaped earthwork clay pit which measures approximately 110m in length by 55m in width, with a smaller pit to the southwest and a large sub-rectilinear levelled area measuring approximately 43m in length by 39m in width to the south. A small square area measuring 12m by 12m in size only visible on aerial photographs of 1950 is also visible to the north of the large clay pit and may have been a platform for a former structure or structures. A range of structures are also visible on aerial photographs, although since they are depicted on historic maps, were not transcribed as part of this survey. Earthworks of the former brickworks remain visible here on recent digital images derived from lidar data of between 1998-2014.
