Report - The Brickworks Wrexham June 2019

[grindle]

Henry Dennis founded the Hafod Brickworks in 1878 to capitalise on the reserves of Etruria Marl Clay found in the Ruabon area. Such was the popularity of its products - bricks, ridge tiles, chimney pots and the famous Ruabon quarry tile – it became known as the ‘Red Factory’.
Partial visit due to Kronaspan logging operations on site blocking ost of the buildings
