Brickfields (Ibstock) Update
21 February 2007 Categories: Brickfields
Just to recap, Brickfields is the land adjacent to Ibstock's brickworks between Chester Lane, Lea Green Lane and Walkers Lane in Sutton, St Helens. There are no signs referring to it as Brickfields, as such, but that does seem to have become its adopted name.
Last year the Forestry Commission undertook soil and water sampling to ascertain whether it was suitable for an extensive woodland. This morning I've received an email from Angiolina, an environmental scientist working for the Commission who reports that tests have proved positive and work on creating a woodland is expected to begin in April. The stakeholders in the project, who have only recently approved the designs, are having their next meeting in mid-March and I've been promised an update then. Excellent news!

There should be many more trees soon in Brickfields
