Earlswood Brickmakers

A Memory of Earlswood.

This photograph was added to the Frith Website in 2006, I believe. However, I think it was taken towards the West end of Earlswood Common. I think it is of my Great Grandfather's home, Mackrells. GGF William Brown was a master brickmaker. The family firm was at Mackrells for over 100 years, making bricks and pottery items. William was Mayor of Reigate towards the end of the 19th Century. Sadly, the house has gone. It was replaced by Council flats and a close of houses in the 1960's. The name lives on. The flats are grouped around a close called Mackrells. I would love to share memories etc with anyone who remembers the family & brickworks. Any photos??
