Title: Roecliffe Brick and Tile works - Moses Gough
Post by: graemesheldon on Tuesday 07 April 20 00:48 BST (UK)
Would anyone have any information on the Roecliffe Brick and Tile Works where my Great grandfather Moses Gough was the manager in 1911?

Many thanks,

Graeme Sheldon

Presumably you have done some google searches, e.g.?

Also search on 'Conservation Area Character Appraisal - Roecliffe' - I can only link to the article with all photos removed.

Yes, I have read these reports. Also found a tile on top of the school wall with Moses Gough signature on it. Would really be interested to see if any old photos exist of the brick works showing the workers. Have never managed to find a photo of my great grandfather.

Hello, Graeme,

I have done some research in Roecliffe for & with a nephew whose photogragh standing beside the gravestone of his direct ancestor, Frederick William GOUGH (b. Thringstone 1824/ d. Roecliffe 1879) and his wife Frances, I took!  I also have a photo of the coping tile on one of the walls surrounding the school, on which "Moses Gough 1878" has been scratched.  I suspect you have a photograpgh of this too!

We did quite a bit of research there and visited the church (now decommisioned & redundant) & located the registers which were in the keeping of a former churchwarden!

If any of this is of interest to you I would happily share everything I have on this family & I suggest that this is best done on my Zoom account so that I can share screen to show you what I have.

Kind regards,

Malcolm [Bland]

Cannot make out the 1st word - possibly "HORSEMAN"?

Intrigued by Moses' advert for someone with a " ... knowledge of farming ..." This map appears to answer the question?
