I was born in the nursing home in Holybourne in January 1942.  My sister and I think, my brother were also born there.  How can I get the records of those born there, referred to in Jane's email.

If this is the brickworks I think it is it made hand made refactory bricks.  I visited it in around 1966.  I had been filming nearby and sadly by the time I got to the site at the end of the day I had used all my film stock filming other industrial sites in the area.  It went out of business in 1975, but before it was demolished a film was made of its working as it was using practices pre dating the industrial revolotion.  The film was made by Amber Films and called Last Shift.  The film, which shows the making of the bricks and the use of a horse worked internal narrow gauge railway system is available from Amber Films on a DVD called the Tyne DOcumantaries.  A terrific DVD.  I think at the end the brickworks might have been part of the Adamsez group.
