Please ,has anyone got any info about the Brick Fields around Southall and Yeading, Middlesex. Whereabouts they were etc. Would it be where Taylor Woodrow offices are? I have googled and found items but wondered if anyone had any items about them in their possession that they could share. Found out descendants came from that area and worked in the Brick fields. I used to live in that area and have been gone for over 40 years and only now find that ancestors lived so close. thank you, Sue

Hello Sue. look at Google. There are several entries. Jim Nelhams (ex Barnhill Estate and Yeading School, and before that next door to Shackles Fields in Harlington)

Researching:
Nelhams Kemp in Glamorgan/Somerset Dyer in Hailey Willows/Willers

Hello Jim, Thank you for replying. I had googled and found the various sites. I just wondered if anyone had any booklets etc about it that they could recommend. I was from the Lime Trees estate behind the White Hart. Sue

Try looking at the Old Maps website, without the brackets : http://www.old-maps(.)co(.)uk/ I put in Yeading and then Southall into the search boxes and the brick fields are visible in both the maps which come up. You can view a modern day equivalent map as well to give you some idea of the area you're looking at. :-) Chris

You could always email the local archives or family history society. Coincidentally my son was looking at properties there round a marina - wonder if that has anything to do with old brick works?

Chris, Thank you for the old maps reference. I have had a good time looking at the maps of the area. Brings back memories of what it would have been like. Heather,Thank you. I will see if I can find any archives for it. There is a lovely Marina in the Yeading area. I know that my Mum and Dad would go there before they died. It is fairly new!. It was fields and then they developed it. It seems to be where ever there is water, that is where to build. Sue

Hi my name was Mary Nelhams before I married.the brick fields was run by my father Bill Nelhams but I believe it was owned by Rouses the big store that was in ealing .Next to the brick fields was a mill. At the back was a naughty boys school.
