Brick and Tilemaking on the Dicker in East Sussex, by M. Beswick, published 1983 in Sussex Industrial History (No. 13, article, pp.2-10) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506525] Download PDF
Abstract:In the 18th and 19th centuries the manufacture of bricks and tiles expanded throughout Sussex, but on the Dicker Common, in the parishes of Chiddingly and Hellingly, this expansion amounted almost to an explosion. To discover the reason for this, two factors of particular importance must be considered: firstly, the suitability of the sub-soil, the Weald clay, and secondly, the fact that the area, being waste land, was not under cultivation and was therefore available for exploitation when the demand arose.
