Tipping hopper, Magnolia Fields Local Nature Reserve, Hawkwell
This is a typical narrow-gauge contractor's tipping hopper built in the thousands and used for the transport of materials around a site. In this instance, probably used to carry brick clay from the fields to the works/kilns.

Sometimes known as Magnolia Park, this wagon is a reminder that this area was once industrial, much of this area was originally a brickworks, where both sand and clay were extracted.
