| Description | This volume records the 'brick making account, Watery Lane estate clay mine let to Mr. John Bond, Coventry Road @ 2/9 per thousand royalty'. The volume suggests that the Blue Coat school let the working of a clay mine to John Bond in return for a royalty from the profits from the resulting bricks made. The volume records date, number of bricks made and money made in royalties thereof.
The deed MS 1622 7/4/1/72 is a 'lease of Brickfield situate at Bordesley in the city of Birmingham to Mr. John Bond' and may therefore be of interest to researchers particularly interested in the brick making business that is connected with the Blue Coat School. |
