Mackrells was on the North side of Pendleton Road. It was the home of William Brown my GGrandfather. The house was replaced with 3 blocks of flats which bear the name Mackrells. The pottery and tile works were near the house & were redeveloped as part of the Woodhatch Housing Estate post WW2. Estate put up 1948 -circa 1952.
The family brickworks were about 1 mile South by New Ponds.
