Three unlisted C19th brick cottages, built between 1832 and 1854 and associated with the historic former Broomfield Brick, Tile and Pottery Works, were surveyed by Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) in June 2011. All work was carried out in accordance with the Brief and WSI. Three unlisted C19th brick cottages, built between 1832 and 1854 and associated with the historic former Broomfield Brick, Tile and Pottery Works, were surveyed by Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) in June 2011. The cottages are typical of early Victorian construction with shallow roofs and recessed windows. They appear to have changed only superficially in the C20th and they provide a good example of industrially associated working class housing that has often been cleared away without record. As surviving examples of how ordinary workers lived in the C19th they provide today's society with a glimpse of its Victorian counterpart.
