 Waspnest Brickworks was on Old Hall Road and was established c1909.
Founded by two builders Edward Silcock & Edwin Hattersley & Arthur Heath, A Joiner and Arthur gibbons, a Butcher.
In 1934 it was taken over by theChesterfield Brick Co, which seemed to be the old company reformed, They ceased trading in the mid 40s.

Arthur Heath was my great uncle.  When I was a child in the late 40's and early 50's he ran a building company.  He employed my father, his nephew, until his (my father's) death in 1957.  Athur Heath lived in Old Brampton, although his brother Godfrey (Goff) Heath lived in Brampton.  He was a cabinet maker/joiner and he worked as such for the Brampton Brewery..

I lived in Ashgate Avenue until 1957 and I remember, now you have jogged my memory, there was a brickworks with a tall chimeny over the field at the bottom of our garden.
The Inkerman was at the left corner of the field and there was a footpath leading alongside the Inkerman to Ashgate Road.  You can see that, although the Inkerman has been filled in, Inkeman Cottages remains.
I would put the brickworks around the south end of the field which remains, just east of what is now Rockingham Close.  Looking from our garden the Inkeman was out of sight far left, probably 150 yards from the bottom of the garden.  We kids used to play in that field which is now the housing .  Direct in front over the field was the quarry used for the brickworks, without water.
If I unlock any other memories I will post.

Hi Carol, Don't know if this is too old, but I lived in Brampton until I was 15.  My great uncle was Arthur Heath, the builder.
I have a dim recollection of brickworks as you go towards the town centre from Brampton.  This would have been late 1940's
Regards
Terry
