The death of Mr John Cole occurred at his residence, No 21 London Road. “A man of sterling integrity, beloved and respected
by a very large circle of friends”. He was born at Tannington, in Suffolk, on February 8th 1826. The son of a small farmer, he
joined the Suffolk Constabulary in 1845, at which time there were two Forces in Suffolk - East anmd West - Yoxford being
theheadquarters of the East. He remained there three weeks, when he was sent to Woodbridge, where he was stationed for
twelve months, at the end of which he was ordered to Bungay. Whilst at Bungay he was promoted to first-class constable, and
was then sent back to Woodbridge, where he stayed till May, 1851, when he was transferred to Wrentham. Whilst at Wrentham
he was instrumental in bringing to justice three men whom he detected robbing a barn at midnight. They were convicted at the
Quarter Sessions, at Beccles, and sentenced to twelve months’ hard labour each. For his action in this affair Mr. Colewas
preesented with a purse containing £14, subscribed by the gentry and farmers of the district. He remained at Wrentham for
nearly nine years. In February, 1860, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and removed to Beccles, where he took up his
residence, first in Smallgate, and afterwards, when the old gaol was dismantled as a county prison and adapted for the purposes
of a police station, he went into residence there. It was while at Beccles that he received further promotion to the rank of first-
class inspector. During this period, East & West Suffolk were united under onepolice jurisdiction, and a vacancy occurring at
Ixworth, in West Suffolk, Mr Cole was appointed there in 1879, with the rank of Superintendent. He was at Ixworth for 17 years
and retired to Beccles & lived at 21 London Road for 16 years until his death at the age of 84.
He was a member of the Congregational Church in Beccles. He had been a total abstainer for 50 years.

portion of the land at their disposal in allotments, which are let at moderate rentals to deserving working-men of the

5th century AD when the Roman empire broke up, this widespread manufacture was abandoned in England although it did
continue in other parts of the continent. Therefore, any bricks used in early Saxon or Norman buildings were either reused from
Roman sites or imported from the Low Countries.
stone suitable for building. The earliest surviving building using English bricks is probably the aisled late-Norman church of
Polstead in Suffolk.
brickmakers. Brickearth, which is a mixture of clay and sand, was dug from shallow pits, made malleable by treading and
moulded into shape by hand. The ‘green bricks were partly dried in the am and then stacked in heaps interspersed with fuel.
After the heaps were covered in mud, the fuel was ignited and allowed to burn slowly for a week or more. The quality of the
bricks produced by this method was variable, as the ones at the centre were fully burnt but the outer ones were still quite soft.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, large numbers of small brickworks were undoubtedly created all over the county to cater
for local needs, because bricks were becoming cheaper and more fashionable and were widely used in chimneys, in new facades
and in the complete structure of an increasing numbers of domestic and agricultural buildings. The archaeological traces of
medieval and early modern brickworks have sometimes been noted as clusters of pits or as mounds of fire-reddened clay and
waste lumps of brick 2
fired product. At the bottom of the kiln was a fire-grate for burning the fuel, either coal or wood, and the air-dried bricks were
stacked in the shaft above the fire-grate. If the brickearth contained iron oxide, the bricks emerged with a red colour, but if it
contained chalk they were a light buff colour, the so-called ‘Suffolk whites’ ~. The only machinery used in most of the
brickyards was a pugmill, driven by steam or turned by a horse, which mixed or churned clay, sand and water to the required
consistency. The brickmaker threw the resultant mix or ‘pug’ into individual wooden moulds at a rate of about 1000 a day.
had a total output of about 100,000 bricks per year, and supplied purely local needs. The large brickyards had an output of
several million bricks a year, and were close to a large town or had easy transport by road, rail or sea. Of about 250 sites
identified in commercial directories between 1844 and 1937, more than 70 were working for over 20 years, and of those more than
20 were working for over 50 years.
was easy to use in machinery, and the coal content burned in the kiln to give a good uniform heating to all the bricks.
Production of Fletton bricks began in 1881 using large Hoffman kilns which were economical on fuel. As a
brickyards were cut in an attempt to match the price of Flettons. However, after reaching a peak of 115 in 1885, the number of
brickyards in Suffolk fell rapidly. Brick kilns were shut down during the First and Second World Wars because, in the final
stages of firing, bricks became red hot and the bright glow from the open tops of kilns was easily visible to enemy Zeppelins
and aircraft. By 1986 Suffolk had only three brickyards still operating at South Cove, Aldeburgh and Gisleham.

of Richard and Sarah Darby, nee Dav(e)y. He was the only one of twelve children not to be baptised into the Church of
England. At the baptism of most of his children Richard Darby is noted as being a waterman, but he is recorded in the 1841
census for Beccles, and in the 1844 county directory, as the innkeeper of the Hermitage, Bridge Street. This address was later
used by Samuel. Samuel himself is not at home, or in Beccles at the time of the 1841 census.

In 17century a brickmaker would be expected to make 1000 bricks in a 14 hour summer’s day from 6a.m. to 8p.m.. He would use
three cubic yards of clay in the process.
BRICKLAYING
In 1749 a bricklayer and his mate were expected to lay 1000 bricks in ordinary walling in a standard summer’s day 6a.m. to 6p.m..
In concealed brickwork they would lay 1500. But for front walls in which 4 courses rise eleven inches they should lay 500 (one
brick a minute), with great neatness. Would be reduced if jointing & pointing of special quality were required.
Only the best and most skilled worked on the outer face of the front wall, laying selected bricks of the best quality.

The Parish of Beccles ends, at its most southern point on the London Road at the turning to the west towards Ringsfield
piece of country. When the boundary of the township was drawn, probably in the tenth and certainly not later than the
eleventh century, the arable fields had already reached the frontier in some places. The irregularity of the boundary, making
frequent short right-angled turns, can only arise from the existence of strip cultivation at that date. This is especially noticeable
on the eastern side of Beccles to the north of the Lowestoft Road, across to the Ellough Road.
artificial frontier drawn through country as yet uncultivated. The change in the nature of the boundary from a zig-zag line to a
long straight line to the south of the crossing point of the Beccles parish boundary and the Ellough Road strongly suggests
that this belt represents the limit of expansion of the fields at the time the parish boundary was drawn. Clearance and
cultivation must have stopped at that marginal land for some considerable time; but to the north of this point the woodman’s
axe had hacked much farther to the north-east and had reached the frontier of the township at an early date. Thus the
examination of the course of the parish boundaries throws a little light on the nature of pre-Conquest expansion of the arable
into the forest and the Fen. We get a glimpse here and there of the limits of cultivation in the tenth or eleventh century from the
record of the Ordnance map.
