Hammersmith.
Houghton, in 1693, thus alludes to the brick works at this place: “Some can make fourteen or 15,000 in a day, some 18,000; but Nicholas Gooding, of Hammersmith, for a wager of 10l., made in one day 22,000 bricks, upon which Sir Nicholas Crisp assisted him to set up, and he is now living at Hammersmith, and worth several thousand pounds. His master’s name was Gosling, who had three men whom he often encouraged to wagers.”
