The idea of attempting to relink the demise of two brickworks operations, filled over with toxic wastes and foundry sands into some co-disposal super tip to use as a foundation for housing is absurd, and yet here we are with this old chestnut rejected in 1990 but for some strange reason still flickering like a phoenix from the flames.
It should be made clear that the only site with the provenance “rattlechain” at this point in time and at any time going forward from this point in time should be the lagoon, as all trace of brickmaking had long gone only to be replaced by appalling tipping operations over the remnants of a brickworks. Unfortunately the mistake in still associating this site as “rattlechain” by subsequent licences and authorities has been misused in trying to link the sites together to suit commercial activities.
These “two tips” are no longer linked, and nor should they ever be. THEY HAVE SEPARATE HISTORIES WHICH ARE SUMMARISED BELOW. We are where we are, so let no man nor any of their agents try to claim that the two are still linked. Only thoughts of avarice connect them.
