The Civil Survey of 1654-56 which gives a description of every property within the walled city describes only one brick building, owned by a Captain George Ingoldsby measuring 31 by 19 ft.
I have plotted the civil survey against 19th cent ordnance survey maps, the brick house was located near Island Gate which is now a car park on Old Dominick St. opposite the Villiers Alms Houses, there are no extant remains of the building
