Clinker Beach: Eltringham brick
Taken on 25 July 2015 and uploaded 22 November 2024.
A brick, seen at Tilbury's 'Clinker Beach' on the north bank of the River Thames.
Eltringham brick works was adjacent to Eltringham Colliery. The brick works seems to have been started prior 1881 and continued to 1970. Eltringham seems to refer to the location rather than the (full) maker's name: Eltringham Sanitary Pipe and Brick Company.
