A Brief History of Brickfields Country Park.

We would like to hear from you.

Over the years we have managed to collect lots of information about the area on which now sits Brickfields Country Park. Council reports, maps, anecdotes, emails, letters, photographs, a gazetter, even a book from an 1881 listing the lots, buyers and prices from an auction at the brickworks. The following articles, notes, pictures, Etc. have been recieved from various sources and they constitute, as it were, the beginning of our quest. If you can help in any way we would be most grateful. We are already indebted to those kind folk who have helped so far.

Given all of the information presented here we are still on the look out for more, so if you have any information relating to the park, anecdotes (a lot of local residents used to play in the old brick diggings in their younger days), photographs, press cuttings Etc, then please let us know. Original photo's and other documents will be returned. E-mail or telephone Mike at the number on the E-mail page.
