Tipping hopper, Magnolia Fields Local Nature Reserve, Hawkwell
This is a typical narrow-gauge contractor's tipping hopper built in the thousands and used for the transport of materials around a site. In this instance, probably used to carry brick clay from the fields to the works/kilns.
Sometimes known as Magnolia Park, this wagon is a reminder that this area was once industrial, much of this area was originally a brickworks, where both sand and clay were extracted.

Narrow gauge skip in recreation ground, Hawkwell
This remembers that the field was the site of Hawkwell Brickworks, and the nature reserve beyond was where the clay was won. The enterprise closed around 1959, the skip came from elsewhere - possibly nearby Cherry Orchard Lane or Star Lane brickworks, which closed much later. The sign merely says 'Do not climb'.
