A brickworks was established in the early 1930's by the Cannock Chase Colliery Co. on the site of the colliery tip near Old Hednesford Colliery. It used the pit shale to make around 170,000 bricks a week. When the coal industry was nationalised in 1947 it passed into the ownership of the NCB. In the early 1970's Butterley Brick took over production from the NCB (National Coal Board) and by the end of the 1970's the brickworks had closed down.
