E. Rose checked estate maps with the manager of Gawby Hall estate [3]. It would seem that brickyard at grid reference is almost certain findspot. No other brick field known in area; this is on border of Redenhall and Starston (at that time Wortwell was in Redenhall parish). The OS 25 inch map as late as 1926 shows this brickyard with building standing. Name of owner not recorded but Aldis recorded as name in Redenhall by (S5). Brickyard is now wooded with flooded pits; area of buildings apparently recently bulldozed; kilns could remain buried but no visible traces.

A contractor reported that at least one horse gin wheel survives within the area of the brickworks. The machinery is described as consisting of a circular trough with a central tether post. It is likely that the machine was used for grinding clay. The brickworks is now mostly wooded and noting is visible on aerial photographs consulted.
