Description: | PRN 70574
Foster's Brick Yard and clay pit is depicted on the Padley map of 1842.{1}
The brickworks would appear to have been in operation until just after 1883. After this date, the area in and around the brickworks would be redeveloped as housing during the late Victorian expansion of the city.{2}
All traces of the brickworks had disappeared by the turn of the century, as they are not shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1905.{3}
John and Thomas Foster, owner's of Foster's Brickyard in Newland, were also builders.{4}
Foster's Brick Yard is notable for the discovery of the partial skeleton of a long-necked plesiosaur, which was donated to Lincoln Museum in 1906. Unusually for an historic specimen, it can be placed in a sound stratigraphical context, and be confidently dated as Jurassic, specifically from the Pliensbachian (189.6 to 183 MyBP).{5} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1842 - 1883 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
