 Star Lane brickworks in Essex [TQ 935870]; Cherry Orchard Lane brickworks in Essex [TQ 857898]; south of the River Crouch, near Great Wakering, near Rochford; Brickearth deposits used to make London Stock bricks; among the longer lasting of the Thames Valley brickworks; owned at one time by D.&C. Rutter- who owned brickworks in Crayford. Both sites investigated by Grenville Lill in the 1970s; his TG studies on the London brickearths succeeded and amplified those of Freeman (1964).
