Description: | The chimneys of Claylands brickworks can be seen, also Abbey mill and the railway embankment.
Bishop's Waltham Clay Works produced bricks, tiles, statues and ornamental pots that were transported all over the world via the railway. By the 1880's the Clay Works which opened in 1862, became the most important brickworks in Hampshire and its bricks were used in the building of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh as well as buildings in America and Poland.
In the foreground is the cattle salefield, south of the Palace, where many thousands of local sheep and cattle changed hands.
