Further information: Aerial view showing Woodborough Road on the right hand side and Morley Avenue, bottom left to centre right. Records show that by 1738, several brick kilns had been established in the Mapperley area by the Nottingham Patent Brick Company. Common bricks were sold at 10 shillings per thousand, and dressed bricks at 17 shillings. In summer, bricks were carted down Coppice Road and stored for use in winter, when the brick yards were inoperable. Indeed, if the carts became bogged up, they often had to be abandoned until spring. It was estimated that in the 1850's, annual brick production in the Nottingham area was upwards of 5 million bricks. Overall, more than a thousand million bricks were made - many being transported to London for the construction of St. Pancras Station. To celebrate the coronation of King George V on 22 June 1911, a bonfire was held at the Nottingham Patent Brick Company's premises, being the highest point in the region.
