The brick works on the right started life in the 1790s by The Coalbrookdale Co to make fire bricks and was known as the White Brick Works, the Coalbrookdale Co sold it circa 1900 to Days' Automatic Waste Water Closet & Sanitary Pipe Syndicate Co. Ltd, a Wolverhampton firm, They made mostly sewerage pipes of about a foot diameter, you can see them stacked up in the field, we had two of these pipes one either side of are front door stuck in the ground and used as plant pots, The brick works closed 1915 and was demolished.
