Clockhouse Brickworks was closed by the owners - Hanson - in 2009 because of the economic downturn and the slump in house-building. There was talk at the time of closure about the possibility of the brick factory reopening using the same facilities but clearly that hasn't happened!
We were surprised by the relative tidiness of the site, given its proximity to the main road and its length of time sitting abandoned. There is security on site so this may have something to do with it, although the gentleman who spotted us on our way out wasn't bothered enough to actually speak to us! He merely followed us to the path and watched us get in the car!
Visited with CovertUrbex, with information from stu8fish - thanks to both!
