Bursledon Brickworks, Swanwick
« on: Friday 22 July 11 14:30 BST (UK) »
hello,
I'm a volunteer at Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum. If anyone has access to 1901 census I'd be grateful if you would look up the Brickworks in the address search and let me know if there's a list of workers. It's listed as 232 (schedule) Brickyard (house) Swanwick Lane (street) Sarisbury(civil parish) Fareham(Reg district) Hampshire.

Back then the brickworks was thriving and we have managed to find the names of some workers in 1911 but they seem to be more elusive in 1901. Nowadays the brickworks is managed and run by volunteers and we've recently started a heritage project to try and identify the workforce as we have very few records.

Please help us if you can. If your ancestor worked at the brickworks we'd love to meet you!
Thanks

Hi,

I cannot find a list as such but have found several brickyard labourers living in Swanwick Lane.  If you would like further details PM me.
