Clark Wrexham


The Wilderness Brickworks at Gresford was established by Edward Stanley Lea in 1885 and soon after he was joined in partnership by Russell and James Rea and Charles William Massey, all from Liverpool.In 1888 they formed Clark & Rea Ltd and became known for producing quality pinky red and buff bricks. In 1903 Stuart Clark became the sole proprietor of the company which was then operating 8 round kilns for red bricks and 7 square kilns for blues. It appears that the works was never profitable and the Clark family lost money for a number of years. It closed by 1924 and was dismantled in 1926.
