Ridgewood is a suburb and voting ward 1 mile south of Uckfield in East Sussex, England.

On 9 March 1922, a leaase for the land of Shipreed Farm was granted to Benjamin Ware & Sons, with clay pits being dug soon after.

This was followed by the installation of clay-working machinery and a narrow gauge track was laid so clay could be transported to the brickworks.

On 21 September 1937 William Ware bought the site for £2000 and until the 1960s the available clay was exploited, with two deep pits and many shallower ones dug there.

In 1997, local residents, with help of Uckfield Town Council and East Sussex County Council a successful application was made to the Countryside Agency for a grant to establish a Millennium Green on the site, and on 30 March 1998 a trust was established.
