Description (or HER record listing)
The New Delaval Colliery and brickworks are depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1898, but appears to post-date the 1865 edition. By the date of the earliest air photos, 1947 the brickworks had expanded up to the railway line and bricks were being stored on the site of the worker's village to the south (which has largely been demolished). The site of the colliery and brickworks has now been relandscaped as a golf course.
