The Cornes works was on, Slippery Lane, Hanley, adjacent to the Shelton Colliery. By 1900 it was sharing the marl hole with the Sun Street Works to the south. In 1867 the works was operated by Richard B Clarke and Cornes only appears in the 1896 directory.

Daniel Cornish was the son of Orbell Cornish, brickmaker in
Sible Hedingham. Daniel Cornish & Co. owned the Shenfield &
Hutton Brickworks in Shenfield, Brentwood & this works is first
listed in Kellys 1899 edition. Kellys 1902 edition now includes a
2nd works at Wickford & was situated at the end of Station
Avenue. Daniel continues to run both works until the Wickford Works
is listed in Kellys 1917 edition as being owned by John Cornish
(possibly his brother). John Cornish is listed at Wickford until
Kellys 1922 edition. As of yet no bricks stamped John Cornish have
been found. Back to Daniel & he continues to be listed in Kellys
at the Shenfield & Hutton Works until my last available trade
directory in 1937. Photo & Info by Martyn Fretwell.

Peter Harris writes: These were made by Coronet Brick co
ltd of Measham. They made both bricks and salt glazed
pipes They only made pipes in the later years They
closed about 1965 I do not think they were connected
to Redbank as they were on the other side of the Midland Railway
at Measham.
Martyn Fretwell adds; Coronet Brick and Terra Cotta Works was in
production by 1903 and was one of a trio of brickworks on
Atherstone Road. Redbank was on the opposite side of the
railway line and Measham Terra Cotta Co. was to the north, each
with its own adjoining clay pits. The company may have taken its
name from nearby Coronet House situated 150 meters from the
works.
