Abstract:		 This report provides a record and analysis at English Heritage (2006) Level 2 of a group of redundant industrial buildings. The project archive includes a CD containing a full photographic record. The old pipeworks lies in open countryside on the eastern side of Eye Road, Hoxne. The site is internationally famous for the discovery by antiquarian John Frere of palaeolithic tools during clay extraction in 1797, when the site operated as the brickworks of the Hoxne Hall estate (later renamed Oakley Park). An estate map of 1757 suggests that any earlier brick making occurred well to the north of the present buildings, which date from the 1930s and later. Of the structures shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1927 only fragments of a 19th century brick shed still stand today. The surviving complex was built in the 1930s and underwent many alterations before the production of bricks and land drainage pipes ceased in the mid 1960s. A small down-draught beehive kiln of 8 m in total diameter with a detached chimney is the best preserved structure on the site, retaining its eight fire holes and some of its cast iron equipment. A series of brick and corrugated iron machinery sheds which contained extrusion equipment and a diesel engine had been emptied prior to inspection. A long drying shed was re-roofed after a fire which left its timber posts and tie-beams badly charred, and was largely rebuilt in brick. Despite these alterations the shed retains good mid-20th century industrial archaeology such as three pairs of iron rail tracks for transporting the drying racks and other features. The buildings are therefore of great local interest but are not of sufficient age, rarity or completeness to be considered of national importance.
