we visited here numerous times around june 2013.
no security, fences or anything pretty much allowed to walk about.
theres not much history i can find about this place other than. it was a glazed brick manufacturers started by a henry victor allen in 1905 in the waterclough valley hipperholme. he converted the works to manufacture red bricks (with ALLEN wrote on them) they made the bricks to withstand high temperatures, you might find them in fireplaces, kilns and furnaces all around. its a pretty big complex here and ive wandered around it a few times night and day.
on one occasion i spoke to a local walking his dog he said there was a speedway track in the surrounding area at one point but i havent found anything to back that up or seen anything unfortunately.
