Brick makers in Hammersmith

In the mid 19th century, the area from Brook Green to Shepherd's Bush and east to Counter's Creek was almost wholly devoted to brickmaking.

Lakeside Road lay in the heart of the gravel pits between Shepherd's Bush and Brook Green, known as the 'Ocean' owing to its marshes and lying water caused by digging for brick clay.
