Brick, Red Brick Barn, Hapton

Does anyone have any information about a building shown on the first edition of
the Ordnance Survey maps as Brick Barn ?

It was situated on the Hapton side of the later to come Power Station, an old drinking buddy of mine by the name of Henry Holt once told me a tale, well not a tale more of a fact, that he was born in the front bedroom of the said Brick Barn and his birth place was registered as Hapton; his brother however was born in the back bedroom and his birthplace was registered as Huncoat.
This does seem to be highly feasable as the boundry stream now runs in a culvert directly under the old still visable (if you know where to look) ruined building.
Maybe one for you Rowlf
