PALMER'S BRICKFIELD.
In December several letters were received from inhabitants of the
district around this brickfield, which is situate in Antill road, Old Ford.
The writers complained of the nuisance caused by the process of brickburning,
and also of the noisome stench caused by a large accumulation
of "dust" on the field.
