The two lakes in Friars Park were until 1976 brick pits. 20,000 years ago the gravels of the area were covered with windblown silt or brickearth and from the mid-C19 North Shoebury and nearby Great Wakering became a centre for brickmaking. The last brickworks closed in 2005 and were in Star Lane just to the north of this point.
