Bakestonedale Brickworks Brick-making started here in around 1820 due to readily accessible clay and coal. From the late 19th century the Hammond family were producing specialist firebricks. The brickworks extended either side of the road, and several kiln chimneys survive. Mining ceased in 1956 and brick-making in 1968 although Hammonds continued to make refractory materials until the 1990s. Since then the works have been developed into small business units and the area still an air of prosperity.
