The Cannock Chase Colliery Company produced bricks at various sites until production was centralised in the 1920s to the west of No.9 & 10 Collieries at Hednesford. The works was developed to a capacity of 8 million bricks per annum in the 1930s but the average production in the 5 years ending in 1932 was only 5.75 million bricks. Under the NCB the works was further expanded and c1974 was taken over by the Butterley Brick Company. It has since been closed.
