Midhurst Brickworks is a former brickworks situated to the south-west of Midhurst, West Sussex in England. The works were sited close to the (now closed) Midhurst Common railway station on the Midhurst to Petersfield. The company was soon highly profitable, generating a weekly profit in excess of £1,000] and the company was renamed as Midhurst Whites in 1938. At the same time, Benjamin Cloke decided on a flotation of the company's shares. This was not a success, but fortunately Cloke had retained a substantial holding of the company's shares, thus preventing the flotation from being a failure. Shortly after this, Cloke died from thrombosis. To handle the expanded production, new storage sheds were erected close to the railway station, with Southern Railway providing 150 special truck containers to transport the bricks without further handling. Production continued throughout World War II, with the company acquiring War Office contracts, including Thorney Island RAF Station. By 1945, the company had a stockpile of 8 million bricks. Following the closure of the railway in 1964, transport switched to the road. At the same time, the company expanded the works, crossing over the former railbed to open a new sand pit. The works had a network of three railway lines, built to a gauge of 762 mm (30 in). The system operated on three levels: the lower level, connecting the kilns to the storage sheds and railway station; the middle level, to the sand pits; and the upper level, which took waste back from the kiln to the disused pits. The Midhurst White brick suffered from excessive weathering especially in coastal areas, and as a result houses built with them needed to be rendered. The bricks did, however, have a much greater compressive strength than ordinary red bricks and could bear heavy loads without fracture. In 2012, the Midhurst Conservation Area draft plan described the bricks as not attractive, preferring traditional red bricks. The bricks were used in the light wells of Battersea Power Station, and at Broadcasting House and the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects. See more:
Midhurst is situated in the Wealden Greensand, which lies between the South Downs and the Low Weald. The town is located in the Rother Valley: the River Rother flows east-south-east to join the River Arun near Pulborough, from which point the river flows southwards to reach the sea at Littlehampton. The London and South Western Railway (LSWR) opened a single-tracked branch line from Petersfield to Midhurst in 1864, with a station c.800m from the town centre. In 1866, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) extended the 1859 Horsham-Petworth branch line to the town, and in 1881 a line was built to connect Midhurst directly to Chichester. The Midhurst-Lavant section of the latter closed in 1935, the Petersfield-Midhurst branch closed in 1955, and the Petworth-Midhurst branch closed in 1964. See more:
Welcome to the South Downs National Park. Britain's newest National Park. This area is recognised as nationally important for its outstanding landscapes, diverse wildlife and rich cultural heritage. The South Downs is one of England's most popular destinations. Over 100 miles long, its ancient woodlands, open downland, heathlands, rivers and spectacular heritage coastline are interspersed with bustling market towns, and a multitude of captivating rural villages. The famous South Downs Way, loved by walkers, cyclists and horse riders, stretches the length of the National Park from Winchester to Eastbourne. Strolling along the top of this chalky ridge gives you the opportunity to see some of England's finest historical sites including the great Iron Age hill forts of Old Winchester Hill, Chanctonbury Ring and Devils Dyke. Covering an area of over 100 miles,
the South Downs are loved and protected for their beautiful and diverse landscapes of ancient woodlands, heathland and rivers, rolling chalk downlands and the Western Weald; which supports a network of unique and internationally important wildlife. See more:
Gistihúsið The Old Railway Station er í West Sussex, sem er við suðurströnd Englands. Ef fólk er á ferðinni þarna mæli ég með að fara út að borða á veitingastaðnum Exsurgo í Midhurst en það er um tíu kílómetra frá The Old Railway Station. Og að setjast inn á ekta breskt kaffihús og fá sér Cream Tea að hætti Sussexbúa er nauðsynlegt og alveg einstök upplifun. Lesa meira:
