Those were the days when the population of the community (probably includ­ ing the occupants of near-by farm­ houses) ,was in the neighborhood of 500'. Even at that time, the people were served by daily mail. Not long ago, the writer visited the Crediton community and, walk­ ing through the fields south-east of the main part of the place, we photographed th© huge brick chim­ ney i brick which of the of the factoring centres hi Western tario. The old chimney, landmark of South Huron, molished a short time ago. • However, it is to 'Crediton East at one time jocularly referred to as the Klondyke, mainly devote sketch of the would require Futhermore, it section that practically all brickmaking was done. In its palmy days, Crediton East had a store and post office, both housed in the same building. Wes­ ley Mitchell was the first store­ keeper of which we have record. Later, the store was owned by William T. England and afterwards by Joseph B. Motz. Eventually it was burned down. An oldtime industry here was the flour and grist mill operated by the Sweitzer family. It was situated near the locality of K'uhn’h brick­ yard, just south of the main leading through the village west of the river. A planing also on the south side of the just west of Kuhn’s, was operated by Christopher Beaver. Henry Well is said to have owner. At one time, mills on each side one operated by and August Haist Fred Wuerth and There was the river, on the north side of the main road. Monteith and" Kilpat­ rick are the names of two of the men who were in charge of it, ap­ parently, at different times. There was once a cheese factory between the flax and planing mills on the south side of the road and a blacksmith shop near the bridge but the names of anyone associated with these enterprises are know to the writer.

Most of the brickyards were located along the west side of the fourth concession of Stephen main-, ly north of the Crediton Road. They have nearly all disappeared with the passing of time. There were two south of the main road situated between the fourth concession and the river? The one nearest the rpad inter­ section was owned by Robert Bis­ sett and was subsequently operated by John Mitchell, Louis Stahl, Wil­ liam Hedden and Wilson Anderson. Further south, John Haist - was the proprietor of another brick­ making plant. Ownership even­ tually passed to William Hedden who carried on an extensive busin­ ess for years. He was succeeded by his son, Russell Hedden. It is recalled that during the early days of Hedden’s brick yard, the brick was of the old-fashioned slop Variety, being made entirely by hand. Every morning 5,000 bricks were baked in the kilns and dtiring n timber* wheeled into the kilns, th© next morning’s firing. With the installation of mechanical equip­ ment the output of this plant was increased to 15,000’ bricks per day. Teamsters would arrive at the kilns by daylight, some of them having traveled many miles in or­ der to get their loads before the supply had been exhausted. Men hauling wood td stoke the kilns would leave morning to work.

At one time there was another brickyard between the two latterly referred to. It was operated by John Hall. Adjoining Kerr’s on the north side was another plant that appears to have been founded by Richard D. Young. He was succeeded by John Young and later John Eng­ land followed by George Hertzel. Still further north next to Young John Sanders once had an old-time brickyard and finally in the same northerly direction was the last of these industries which had served the district. John Mitchell, .William Mitchell, Samuel Truemnei’ and Joseph Haist were four brickmakers in charge ceeding each other in ship.
