Full Description

{1} Brickworks shown on early map. The area is now partially built over.

{2} This yard, south of the Harrington Road, is shown on 6" OS maps for 1884 and 1900. In 1885, and 1894 Kelly's show a yard operated by members of the Liner family who both before and after these dates are always shown under Rothwell. Whether this implies that the Desborough pit was taken over by them and used as their main works or just that a mistake was made in the directories is not known. Certainly the Liner's Rothwell pit was working in 1884-1900. There was one kiln on the site. By 1905, when the Desborough Industrial and Provident Co-op Society had started to work iron ore in the area, and had built a standard gauge tramway through it, the works was probably closed. It had certainly gone by 1927.

{3} Brickworks were operated by Liner family before being developed into larger works by The Desborough Industrial & Provident Co-Operative Society Ltd;
