The Claybank Brick Plant manufactured bricks, insulating bricks and tiles from clay. It operated from 1913 to 1989. Today it is preserved as a National Historic Site of Canada. The kilns originally burned wood but later were converted to gas.
A brick from the Star Brick Co amongst rubble from the old Rifle Club. Star Brick were just down the road on Llantarnam Road.
A former employee of the Star Brick & Tile Co on Llantarnam Road in the 1970s has stated that Star Brick & Tile had factories in Ponthir (the Head Office), Malpas, Allt Yr Yn in Newport, Risca and Morriston, Swansea. Kelly’s of 1881 lists “The Star Brick and Tile Co Ltd, Llanvihangel-Llantarnam” (on Llantarnam Road, Cwmbran); in 1937 Kelly’s lists “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd, Llantarnam Road, Cwmbran; Caerleon, Newport; and Risca, Newport”. The DOQ 1941-42 lists “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd”, in the DOQ 1957-58 there is an entry “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd; works: Penrhos works, Caerleon; Malpas Road, Newport; Altyryn, Newport; Waunvawr Works, Risca, Llantarnam Works”. The DOQ for 1973 is the last entry for the Star Brick & Tile Co, although “National Star Ltd Newport” continues to be mentioned up until the IDWM for 1978, its last entry.
It now appears possible that in the 1960s, a common die was used by various works in the Star group, with individual works having identifying letters on the die: L = Llantarnam (i.e. Cwmbran), RC = Risca (WaunFawr works), M = Malpas Road works (Newport) and G = Graig Brick Co works, Morriston.

A quick build for a VLC light brick challenge: proof of concept for backlighting white tiles to display secret messages and symbols.
The catch is light brights have quite a narrow beam, so you need about 16 studs total depth to fully illuminate a 6x6 wall. Could go shallower for a small, circular symbol.
First and foremost, his dad Frank W. Cooper was a Jazz Tenor sax player with (friends like Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Quincy Jones, Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk and many others). His mother Vivian P. Cooper, is a gospel singer.
His younger brother Kevin L. Cooper is manager. K. Brick can be seen preforming around Laughlin Nevada, Kingman AZ., Lake Havasu AZ. areas. Plus, many private special events. What a great musician I'll say! I really enjoyed my time spent with Kevin & K. "Brick" Cooper, and the photo shoot as well. Many thanks my brothers...
Not too many months after my husband passed I took it into my head to get in my car and just drive west. No destination in mind, no maps, no timeline. This brick walkway was in a small town in West Virginia. I loved this little town (can't remember the name of it tho!) it had a neat little museum and old streets and buildings. All the people were so friendly and I soon discovered the local gathering place for a great meal! :-)
This stretch of Harrison Street, between River Drive and the riverfront, is one of the oldest brick streets in Davenport,IA.
Went on a texture spree whilst shooting yesterday's pic, and I really liked how these bricks turned out so here they are!
Roberts' brickyard was on Furlong Road opposite the Greengates Pottery and was later known as Newfield Marl Works. It is only mentioned in the 1875-76 trade directory and is not listed in 1873-74 or 1879, by which time the works was being run by Charles Salt.
This example can be seen in the comprehensive displays about the North Staffordshire brick industry at the Apedale Heritage Centre.
