Description:The brickworks at Hazlestrine opened in the mid 19th century, exploiting clay in Keuper Marl beds. It was served by an arm of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. By 1884-5 the proprietor was William Ward of Hazlestrine Stone Quarry, Brickyard and Tixall Quarry. In 1908 it was taken over by the Hazlestrine Quarry Company, and again in 1939 by the Colwich Brick Company. The brickworks did not continue after the 2nd World War. It was then used as a tip and scrap depot.
