Pugmill House from Redford, Sussex

This brick and stone structure was built to house a horse-powered pugmill, in which clay was prepared for brickmaking in a small rural brickyard. Near the pugmill house is a horse `gin', or engine, from Patching, Sussex, which was used for pumping water from a well.
