Barkly Brick Company chimney demolition - 1946



Herald, 10 January 1946


Long before the days of Barkly Square there was a brickworks on the site. Established in 1909, it closed altogether in 1962. As you can see here, a one hundred foot (30.5 metre) chimney was demolished in January 1946. 

It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers those days, or has any stories to relate about the site in its various incarnations.
