Hennard Mill

"It is probably no coincidence that Hennard Mill’s depopulation began as the railways came to the area making travel far more accessible. That said however, in the 1861 census there is listed a John Hunkin manufacturer of bricks and tiles employing one person, a neighbour, Emanuel Avery, so people were adapting to the changing world and using the resources close to hand given that the area was made up of a heavy clay soil. (John Hunkin was born in Hatherleigh and his father, Samuel, was also a brick manufacturer, so John obviously moved to Hennard with the intention of setting up in the brick business)."^[6]
