Interesting information i found out from Portsmouth record office. Brickyards were usually 'on site'. That is, when they had made the bricks necessary they then built over the brick field. That could explain the story we have in our family that my Gt Grandfather owned a brick field and then sold it to Winchester College. Apparently Winchester College owned large areas of Portsea Island from the 16th century. this land was sold gradually at the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th century. ann glos |

That's interesting Ann. My 2x great Grandfather was a brickmaker. I remember my Grandad, when he was alive, saying something about a piece of land that was handed down. I'll have to ask my Mum Jeanette x |
