from wikipedia:
Brick Lane is a long street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. The street runs from Bethnal Green in the north, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Sylheti Bangladeshi community, and is sometimes known as Banglatown.
History
Winding through fields, the street was formerly Whitechapel Lane, but derives its current name from former brick and tile manufacture, using the local brick earth deposits, that began in the 15th century. By the 17th century, the street was being built up from the south. Successive waves of immigration began with Huguenot refugees spreading from Spitalfields, where the master weavers were based, in the 17th century. They were followed by Irish weavers, Ashkenazi Jews and, in the last century, Bangladeshis. The area became a centre for weaving, tailoring and the clothing industry, due to the abundance of semi- and unskilled immigrant labour.
In 1742, La Neuve Eglise a Huguenot chapel was built on the corner of Brick Lane and Fournier Street. By 1809, it had become The Jews’ Chapel, for promoting Christianity to the expanding Jewish population, and became a Methodist Chapel in 1819 (John Wesley having preached his first covenant sermon at the nearby Black Eagle Street Chapel). In 1898, the building was consecrated as the Machzikei HaDath, or Spitalfields Great Synagogue. In 1976, it became the London Jamme Masjid mosque to serve the expanding Bangladeshi community. Brewing came to Brick Lane before 1680, with water drawn from deep wells. One brewer was Joseph Truman, who is first recorded in 1683, but his family, particularly Benjamin Truman, went on to establish the sizeable Black Eagle Brewery on Brick Lane.
The Brick Lane Market, developed in the 17th century for fruit and vegetables, sold outside the city. The Sunday market, like the ones on Petticoat Lane and nearby Columbia Road, dates from a dispensation given to the Jewish community.
Regeneration
In the 20th century the Brick Lane area was important in the second wave of development of Anglo-Indian cuisine, as families from countries such as Bangladesh (mainly the Greater Sylhet region) migrated to London to look for work. The curry houses of Brick Lane are known for their cheap and cheerful food, (often the curry house itself will not sell alcohol as most are run by Muslims). More recently the area has also broadened to being a vibrant art and fashion student area, with considerable exhibition space. Each year most of the fine art and fashion courses exhibit their work near Brick Lane.
Bengalis in the United Kingdom settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London Bengali's settled in the East End. For centuries the East End has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from east Bengal. Their regular stopover paved the way for food/curry outlets to be opened up catering for an all male workforce as family migration and settlement took place some decades later. Humble beginnings such as this gave birth to the famous curry capital of the UK, Brick Lane. Curry is eaten in almost all part of the Indian Sub-Continent and outside, namely India Bangladesh and Pakistan, it has its varying degrees of style, taste and aroma, depending on local ingredients used. Bengalis of Sylheti origin makeup only 10% of all South Asians in Britain however around 90% of all Indian restaurants in the UK are Sylheti/Bengali owned displaying the preference British and western customers have for food of that region.
It has also been, since the late 1990s, the site of several of the city's best known night clubs, notably 93 Feet East and The Vibe Bar, both built on the site of The Old Truman Brewery, once the industrial centre of the area, now an office and entertainment complex.
Nearby buildings of interest include Christ Church, Spitalfields, The Jamme Masjid or Great London Mosque on the corner of Fournier Street, and the head office of Habitat on Princelet Street.
Brick Lane is world famous for its graffiti which features artists such as Banksy, D*Face and Ben Eine The lane has been used in many music videos such as "Glory Days" by Just Jack and "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers.
The nearest tube station is currently Aldgate East. A campaign has been launched to change the name of the station to "Brick Lane" by 2012, but this has no official support.
The works was located at Hayes Wood to the south-west of Halmer End. This brickyard was erected c1935 using second-hand machinery. It made only bricks and lasted until the 1970s.
It's amazing this place hasn't fallen down given the poor quality of the brick laying on the righthand side of the window.

Since there's been so much snow and the dog hates walking in it as much as I hate being cold, we've been going downstairs through the basement to let him outside. It's right under our patio so the snow isn't so bad. I never noticed the brick wall under there. It shows a little history of our apartment building.

As I headed to a picnic in Fælledparken, I spotted this bit of artistic bricklaying on one of the buildings around Østerbro Stadium. I think it was supposed to represent athletes in a parade
Another in my series of bricked up and plastered over small doorways found within the outside yard at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I'm not sure why I was drawn to these features so much. The prison was built in 1829 and closed in 1971.

Stairfoot is near Barnsley. The brickworks were on Wombwell Lane (A633) southeast of the village. The location is shown on the map.
A homeowner in Shadyside used a collection of vintage bricks to fill in about an 8 ft. area between the sidewalk and curb where there had been a tree. A century or more ago in this area there were dozens, if not hundreds, of brick manufacturing companies.
New car, new accessories! Not so Fuzzy LEGO Dice with Brick Flag Logo.
I was looking so fresh until the first bump and they exploded all over the dash! Should have seen that coming LOL. Anyways, they were making an awful ruckus for the two and a half minutes they lasted.
Maybe I could fill 'em with something and glue it all together. Feel free if you have any suggestions..
And if anyone reading this cares, I have some real new MOCs on the way very soon. :)
