The Stonehouse Brick and Tile Company
Founded in 1900 the brickworks continued into the 1980s. Many of the houses close to the site (near Stonehouse (GWR) Railway Station) display its products. The bricks were specified by architects for projects both home and abroad.
Today the site is a housing estate.
