Colwich Brickworks

The brickworks at Colwich was established by the Colwich Brick and Tile Co. Ltd. c1900 and produced pressed and wire cut bricks until 1970. After this the works lay derelict and abandoned until demolition in the mid 1980s. The site has now (inevitably) been developed for housing. This view shows the offices, dryer and production shed, with the 80ft chimney and Hoffmann kiln behind.
