Funton brickworks


Funton is a location in Kent, United Kingdom. It is a creek situated on the edge of the North Kent Marshes on the right bank of the River Medway about halfway between the towns Chatham and Sheerness.[1]


There is evidence of Celtic/Romano-British salt extraction here deduced from the excavated remains of an evaporating vessel.[2]


Brick making continues here using the local Brickearth clay. A small brick works produces the classic, yellow London stock bricks for which this area is well known.
