Description
A large rectangular structure described on the 1934 plans as the 'Old Retort House' is present on the First Edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1862 and appears to be part of the town's original gas works and must be of mid 19th century date. The building was extensively remodelled in 1934, with its front wall being completeley rebuilt, but retains old limestone walling at both ends and in the lower part of the elevation; the south-east end wall has a central circular window with a raised surround that is probably an original feature. Demolished 2014.

Description
An area of open ground located within the medieval core of the village and set back from the Front Street shown on 1757 plan. It was called The Fold or Fau'd. Documentary sources suggest that the area was the focus for trades and small-scale industrial activity from at least the 17th century. Industry in The Fold included a saw pit, tin worker, cooper and umbrella repairer. By 1858 The Fold had become more developed and formalised with lanes leading north from the main road either side of the central open space.

Description
Extant broad medieval ridge and furrow north of North Farm, Brenkley. Ridge and furrow was recorded by earthwork survey and geophysical survey in 2008 and 2012. In 2008 broad ridge and furrow north-south was traced across the northern area. From crest to crest the extant ridge and furrow in this area measured an average width of 5.5m. The ridges survived to a height of 0.3-0.4m across the majority of the northern area. In the south-western area of this patch of R&F closer to North Brenkley Farm broad R & F running north-south was also noted. The extant ridge and furrow measures 6m crest to crest with a depth of 0.5m in places. The broad rigg and strip field layout suggest a medieval date. The 2012 geophysical survey also identified features underlying the ridge and furrow although these have not been confirmed to be of archaeological origin.
