Jones
and Maxwell established Pelaw Brickworks in 1895 and was located
to the east of Wardley Lane. Access to it was by a lane past Thistley
House Farm (Gallon's). At one time it had its own branch line to dispatch
its loads onto the railway system. By 1911, Jones brothers owned
the yard. A headstone at Heworth Cemetery reads, "In loving memory of
William, the beloved son of James and Elizabeth Patterson, who
was accidentally killed at Pelaw Brick Works. June 12th. 1902. Aged
24 Years".
