b'Dear Sir,The Garton Brickyard is not a source of profit whatever to Sir Tatton Sykes, and is chiefly carried on to find employment for the cottage occupiers. All expenses considered, the goods cost more than we could obtain from both Driffield and Malton, but in some cases a little less haulage is caused where bricks are required in these parts of the estate near to Garton.Wehavenowaccuratelyidentifiedfrom this research when the Bishop Wilton brickyard was in operation: it started operating sometime between 1854 and 1856 and closed in 1886.Left: Two items from the Pocklington Petty Sessions relate to Bishop Wilton, one of them to Thomas Grant and the brickyard.Source: The Hull Packet and East Riding Times, Friday, September 12th, 1879Thomas Grant with his staff building Pocklington Junior School.BULLETIN 17 319'
