Tile House Piece and 290 Tile House etc. (owner Samuel Gunn, occupier John
Riley)
Location: east side of Richmond Road between Yardley Green Road and Blakesley Road (some
remains may be in back gardens, near
the Blakesley Hall school site). The site was in the grounds of Wisteria
Villa by 1887, Home Lea in
1904. John Riley was listed in a directory
of 1841 as a brick and tile maker, beerseller etc., and in a
directory of 1850 as a tile maker and
beer retailer. In 1864 this was Mrs Elizabeth Riley, also listed as such in
1867, but after that she is not listed as a tile maker, but as a beer
retailer (1868), and then as a farmer at Newbridge, shown at the left hand
side of the maps. In 1880 and 1884 the farmer was John Riley, and in 1888 it
was Samuel French.
The brick works shown from 1887
were listed from 1868 as at Newbridge, under Thomas Williams, brick and tile
maker, until 1876-7. In 1878 the name was William Clements. It would appear
that the original workings were discontinued in order to enable Wisteria
Villa to be built, and new ones created a little further south, with the
Rileys apparently involved.
