Station Name: SHERWOOD



The Mapperley brickworks and narrow gauge incline in December 1963. 10 million Mapperley bricks were used to build St Pancras station in London. In 1969 brick-making at Mapperley and Carlton Hill ceased because NBC estimated there was enough accessible clay for only another 10 years and it was economically preferable to concentrate efforts on its more modern, highly-automated site at Dorket Head, where there were clay reserves for another 50 years. In 1970 the last NBC kiln at Mapperley was demolished.
