Winslow History | Station Brickyard

Station Brickyard

The Station Brickyard, which had various names, opened in about 1865 and was linked to the railway by a new siding in 1870. The land (north of the railway) belonged to the Winslow Hall estate until acquired by the Ingram family. The brickmaking was mainly done by various members of the Foxley and Buckingham families. The Foxleys also ran a brickyard at Padbury. The business doesn't seem to have prospered. The Brickyard ceased to operate in 1906, after which the land was used for farming. It has now been designated for housing in the Winslow Development Plan, but not yet (December 2024, 127 years after it was on sale as "an eligible building estate") been built on despite the use of brick-related road names on adjacent land.

[Sale of farm stock at Padbury] by direction of Mr John Foxley, who is leaving Padbury, having taken the Brickyard near the Winslow Station, (lately occupied by S.B. Dudley, Esq.)

Mr J. Foxley had a sale of stock at Akeley Brickyard on 27 Nov 1865. There was also a sale of stock at the Brick Kilns, Thornborough, for Mr Thomas Foxley who was leaving at Lady Day 1866. The Foxleys seem to have transferred the lease of the Winslow Brickyard to W.E. Clarke.

A CHILD DROWNED.- An inquest was held at the Station Inn, on Tuesday evening by Mr. T. P. Hearn, deputy-coroner, on the body of Ernest Alfred Sewell Smith, aged 4 years, who was found drowned on the previous evening in a pool at the Station brickyard. The jury, having viewed the body, and also the place where the fatality occurred, the following evidence was taken:- Alfred Walter Smith residing at Fenny Stratford, said deceased was his child. Witness with wife and children, including the deceased, came to visit his brother-in-law, William Foxley, at the Station brickyard, Winslow, arriving by the 10.30 a.m. train … William Foxley said he lived at the Station brickyard, Winslow, and was a brick and tile manufacturer. The deceased came to his house to spend Bank Holiday, in company with his father and mother. The witness went on to corroborate the evidence of the father as to searching for and finding the body, adding that he laid deceased on the ground face downwards, the water running out of his mouth. Witness could see that he was quite dead; the pool was about nine feet deep- By P.S. Trevener- They did not see anyone about the brickyard. Witness was of the opinion that deceased got on to the plank and slipped into the water…

A JURY CASE
William Ridgway, of Padbury, sued Frank Ingram, of Winslow, for £16, the cost of getting certain clay, at a Brickyard at Winslow, the property of the defendant, which was rented under an agreement by the plaintiff.
Mr. Law appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Woodward (of Mr. R. S. Woods, High Wycombe), represented the defendant.
The jury comprised Messrs. R. Dudley, Tingewick foreman), R. J. Hubbard, Akeley, H. G. Hurst., Leckhampstead, I. Hurst, Foscott, E. Card, F. J. French, and H. Clarke, Buckingham, and W. Hilsden, Water Stratford.
Mr. Law said there was an agreement entered into between the parties on the 13th February, 1902, to rent the brickyard at £25 per year, subsequently reduced to £20. Provision was made on the agreement for getting clay and making bricks in the customary manner, and also the purchase of surplus clay by defendant was allowed for. The plaintiff gave up the tenancy at Michaelmas, 1906, and left a certain amount of clay in the yard, which he asked defendant to buy, but he would not do so. There was a counter claim for filling and levelling up the holes, for which they were willing to allow £3, although the defendant wanted much more.
Plaintiff said he entered into an agreement with Ingram to take the brickyard, and gave up the tenancy at Michaelmas last year. He asked Ingram about the clay left, and told him it had cost £16 to get, but defendant said he should not think of giving anything like that money for it. He considered that 60,000 bricks might be made from the clay. The bulk of the clay was dug in 1905, and the reason he did not use it was because he had no sale for the bricks made in the previous season…
James Miller, brickyard foreman to Mr. L. J. Chapman, Thornborough, said he had been a brick-maker for 55 years. He had inspected the heap of clay, and thought £16 a fair price for digging. He put this at 5s. a thousand bricks, and estimated the clay would make over 60,000. In his opinion £4 would be a fair price for levelling up the holes, but if it was going to be kept as a brickyard, it would be best to leave it as it was…
Frank Ingram said he was landlord of the brickyard at Winslow, and claimed 10s. a week for occupation. There were several stacks of bricks, and a shed in which barrow, planks, etc., were stored. These materials and bricks would prevent him letting the yard. He thought it would cost £10 to £15 to fill up the holes, and as regards the damage to the path, he paid Mr. Ridgway 12s.6d. for materials to mend with, and there was the cost of labour to be added. He had put everything very reasonably in order to get a settlement. Plaintiff had asked him to count and assist in loading the bricks. He knew the usual rate per cubic yard of getting the ground out, working the clay up, and making the bricks, to be 6s. a thousand, and the cost of getting the clay was 6d. per yard…

1908: Buckingham Advertiser, 22 Feb
WINSLOW BRICKYARD CASE.
William Ridgway, of Padbury, v. Frank Ingram, of Winslow. Claim £16 for surplus clay left in Winslow Brickyard. The defendant entered a counter claim of £13.
   Mr. Law appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. E. Woodward (Mr. R. S. Woods) High Wycombe, for the defendant.
A special jury was empanelled to hear the case, namely, Mr. R. Dudley, R. J. Hubbard, E. Card, L. Hurst, H. G. Hurst, F. J. French, W. Hilsdon, and H. Clarke. The case for the plaintiff was heard at the October Court, when it was adjourned till today.
   Defendant said : I own the Brickyard at Winslow. I let it to the plaintiff at £25 per year, and his tenancy expired on the 29th of September, 1906, but bricks to the value of £150 and his wheelbarrows, etc., remained there till the 22nd December, 1906. I never gave him consent to leave them there. He claims from me £16 for unused clay which he left there. He offered it to me at £8, and I offered him £6 for it. I have entered a counterclaim for £6 for the ground the bricks occupied; £5 for levelling up the holes; £1 damage to the footpaths and roads; and £1 for my assistance to him; total, £13.
   In cross-examination by Mr. Law, defendant said that the charge of 10s per week for the ground on which the bricks were stacked was very reasonable, though he heard one of the plaintiff’s witnesses at the last hearing stating that the ground was valueless and a price could not be placed upon it. The claim of £5 for filling up the holes was very nominal, as he had paid £3 for the filling-up of one of the holes, and there were three more. He also thought he was entitled to £1 for his assistance to the plaintiff in counting and loading the bricks, and also £1 for damage to the roads and footpaths, although the latter was done during the tenancy.
   Joseph Willmore said : I live at Great Horwood. I worked at Winslow Brickyard for the plaintiff from July 1902 till November 1905. I was employed digging clay. The plaintiff helped me three weeks. I received 14s. per week wages. We left clay for about 50,000 bricks. The clay we left was older than the last lot of clay we used for bricks.
   George Sharman said : I live at Maids Moreton and am a brickmaker, and have been in the trade all my life. I have seen the heap of clay in Winslow Brickyard and have measured it. It would make about 50,000 bricks. I have measured it.
   The witness gave his figures, and Mr. Law said they totalled up to 194 yards, or 64,000 bricks, whereas the plaintiff only claimed for 191 yards.
   Mr. Woodward addressed the jury for the defendant, and said they allowed £6 for the heap of surplus clay left in the Brickyard, and they considered this was amply sufficient. He also submitted that the charge of 10s. per week was fair and reasonable for allowing the £150 worth of bricks to remain in the Brickyard, together with the usual tools, because whilst these were there they detracted from the letting of the yard. As to the levelling up of the holes, there were four, and the defendant had filled one in at a cost of £3, and therefore their claim on the head was not excessive. The carting of the bricks caused damage to the roads and footpaths, and they charged £1 for repairing them, and they also charged £1 for the assistance the defendant had rendered the plaintiff.
   Mr. Law addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and said the facts of the case were exceedingly simple. By a clause in the agreement the plaintiff was to be allowed fair valuation for dug clay that had not been used. They claimed £16 for it, and the expert called by the defendant said there were 194 yards, whilst they only claimed for 191 yards. Therefore they certainly were entitled to the £16. As to the counter-claim of 10s. per week from the time the £150 worth of bricks were there, the facts were that the plaintiff had the sale at the Brickyard and these bricks remained unsold, and the defendant said he need not hurry in removing them, and, more than this, the ground was useless. As to the refilling of the holes, they had allowed £3 for it; and respecting the claim of £1 for damage to the roads and footpaths, that damage was done during the tenancy, and could not be recovered; and they also repudiated the charge of £1 for assistance. He submitted that it was an afterthought of the defendant in order to wipe out the claim.
   The Judge said this case had occupied a lot of time at two Courts, and he regretted that on the first occasion he was unable to finish it. It was inevitable, with seventeen Courts to attend, he could not say that he would go on with the case on the morrow. However, on this second occasion they had completed it so far. He then reviewed the evidence at considerable length and put several questions on paper to the jury.
   The jury then retired and were absent some few minutes. On their return the foreman handed the paper back to his Honour, who said the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. Ridgway, on his claim of £16. On the defendant’s counter-claim they allowed £4 for the refilling of the holes, instead of his claim of £5; they allowed nothing on this claim of £6 for the space occupied by the bricks; they allowed him £1 for the damage to the roads and footpaths; but they did not allow him anything for his assistance to the plaintiff, and for which he claimed £1. Therefore there was £5 deducted from the plaintiff’s claim of £16. Costs would follow the respective verdicts.
   The Judge thanked the jury for their second attendance and the patience they had given to the case, and said he was sorry that they would be rewarded with the fee of 6d. per day, which was 1s. each for the two days. (Laughter.)

Winslow District has lost an outstanding personality by the passing at the great age of 91, of Mr. Frank Ingram, of Brickyard Farm, Great Horwood Road. In spite of his years, Mr. Ingram remained active and used to enjoy attending the Market right up till last Autumn. He carried on a smallholding until his retirement and horses were one of his great interests. He used to visit horse fairs and horse sales in many parts. He was himself a keen rider and also an exceptional long-distance walker. He had a remarkable knowledge of the district and could talk entertainingly of old times. In his younger days he lived in High-street, Winslow. His father was a plumber and his mother kept a china shop. He was a bachelor. A relative, Miss Stevens, has looked after his welfare during his declining years.
