Description:A brick maker was living in this part of Colwich in 1740 and thereafter trade continued in the area. This brick-works was built by Colwich Brick and Tile Co. Ltd. in about 1900 and continued brick production until the works closed in about 1970. The site with its 80 foot chimney lay derelict until demolition in the late 1980s and eventually made way for a housing development.
