The Brickworks Museum

Bursledon Brickworks was founded in 1897 by the Ashby family. The Ashbys were partners in Hooper & Ashby, successful builders merchants in Southampton. They also made bricks. The first brickyard was at Chandlers Ford but when an opportunity to start making bricks at Bursledon arose they jumped at it.

In 2012 the museum was awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £666,300. This grant was awarded to help create a fully functioning museum open on a regular basis.

Dog are welcome in all parts of the museum apart from the cafe.
