Visited here today with KingElvis (one word with a capital in the middle!) lol
This is a lovely photogenic site :)
The brickworks opened in 1850 and closed in 1914. The bricks made here were used mainly in high heat industries like the steel industry and were also used in the construction of Liverpool Docks.
Today, it stands rusting away for all to see...after a long hot slog down the hill that is :thumb
There is more information here, I recommend a visit if you are passing this way.
