Iv'e always been interested in local history, fletton and woodston , and i only live a stones throw away from phorpres house.

the book is called 'clay that burns' and it is all about the fletton brick making industry and is a fabulous read.

the book is out of print as it was published in 1981, there might be the odd copy on ebay, but you could borrow my copy if you live local

kind regards

Hi there, just a piece of info for you.

i have a book by the London brick company and it says the phorpres house was built in late 1890's- 1896 to be precise, and also shows a picture of it being built..and it was known firstly as the Coffee Palace.


kind regards
