The Engine House public house, Burgass Road
This public house was built on the site of The Nottingham Patent Brick Company (see -Image) and incorporated this rather large and old horizontal single cylinder steam engine. This was possibly c1850 and installed secondhand in 1868 and worked here for 98 years - a very creditable performance. The cylinder is 21" bore x 66" stroke and the flywheel is 16' diameter and had been adapted for rope drive. The engine was removed from the pub in 1982 and is being slowly re-erected at Nottingham Industrial Museum.

Bramblewood Estate
Built on the site of a former brickworks. The ground level would originally have run through from where the photograph was taken to the houses on the horizon, giving some idea of the amount of material that was extracted to make bricks. The whole of this hilly area to the east of Nottingham is basically a large lump of clay in the form of soft mudstones and siltstones. The pub on the estate was built round a steam engine which powered the presses and other machinery. This engine has since been removed to the Wollaton Industrial Museum.

Bus in the Brickyard Estate, Thorneywood – 1986
In the run-up to the deregulation of bus services in October 1986, City of Nottingham Transport introduced a series of ‘Accessline’ services using small buses to reach areas that could not be served by full size buses. The idea was that these areas would not be attractive to possible competitors after deregulation and that passengers would be attracted to use these localised services rather than walk to main roads. These services were never economically viable and in most cases, including this route, services were withdrawn soon after deregulation and have not been replaced since.

The Brickyard Community Centre
The brickyard estate was built inside the quarry area of the Thorneywood Brickworks. The ball http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4963392 seems to be quite a recent addition.
