A brown field site, this former brick pit has been filled and capped with a thick layer of sub and top soil. It is destined to become another township development of Peterborough and will be called Hampton Leys. An access road has been prepared but the impending recession may factor in how fast this area is developed. For a useful guide and map of how 2,500 acres of clay extracted workings are being turned into communities http://www.ohhampton.co.uk
