Decorative Brickwork from one of the local brickyards in stockingford which can be seen on many local older homes built during the late 1800's and early 1900's. These buildings are a contrast to the very plainly build homes that make up Camp Hill Estate, built in the 1950's to house the mining community, many of which now, in 2007, are being dfemolished to make way of new homes. Edward Jephcote holds an example of one such decorative brick |

Examples can be found in Eadie Street and Church Road, Stockingford and on old houses throughout Nuneaton town.
