Site of Arlington Concrete Blocks Works

Marked as a brickyard in Arlington's 1843 tithe survey and as an old brick kiln on the 1874 OS map after which it seems to have fallen out of use until the 1950s when it extended into a neighbouring field and became Arlington Concrete Blocks Works which closed about five years ago. Since 2008 there has been planning permission to build six homes on the site which has yet to be taken up.
