#43 Northallerton Road Northallerton Road is the A684 and the building is a North Yorkshire County Council depot
Thanks to Matthew Hatton the following information:
This is Blow Houses Brick & Tile Works, the building was the office and the now flat yard behind had various sizes of clay pits, a pump to clear away the water and workers sheds. I think it is possible there would have been a firing kiln too but this is not marked on the 1892 map.
It is shown as "old claypits" on the 1919 OS Map. However Brick and Tile works were moved to a new site at Terry House, less than half a mile to the south
