19th century bricks at 86 Mill Road, Stock (EHER 80625)

Early 19th century red bricks which may have come from the barn known to have been situated under the electricity substation.

May 2021. Examination of spoil. The spoil heap was raked out and scoured for pottery and non metallic finds. It was then scanned with a metal detector. No archaeological finds were discovered. There was an interesting selection of marked bricks laying around the garden and there were some early 19th century red bricks which may have come from the barn known to have been situated under the electricity substation. However these were all without provenance. Historically, there was a barn on the site between at least 1840 and 1874. No archaeological finds were recovered. The discovery of medieval pottery close by at Stock Bowling Club, Common Lane and 10 The Paddock indicating the possible presence of kilns was not replicated at this site. <1>
