Full Description
December 2003.
Site of brickworks. Recorded in 1846 at southwest end of site and provided bricks for Newland Villas in Station Road in the 1870s. In 1881 the railway bisected the site and the kiln was re-established at the northeast corner; the house Hargham House stands directly on its site. It is marked as 'Kiln with Chimney' on 1928 Ordnance Survey map but is remembered by an employee as 'underground and semicircular'. House known as Crows Nest at TG 1052 2313 is the original brickmaker's house, so called because his name was Rook. All the other adjacent houses were built from this yard. Bricks have recessed letter C for Collinson in the frog. Closed in about 1950; later part of site now built over or under gardens, older south section being built over in 2003. (S1) in file.
