This aged and crumbling old brick wall probably dates back to the late 1700s, and encloses the garden of an old cottage across from the ancient church of St. Marys on a hill overlooking Hythe Quay and the Blackwater River estuary. The wall has seen better days. The process it is underging is called "spalling" which is when water is absorbed into the porous traditional bricks and then freezes during winter months causing it to fracture and split the bricks sometimes losing whole faces or chunks of the bricks over a few hard winters. Traditional bricks which were made from the early 1900s back to the late 1600s are not glazed and fired in high temperature kilns as modern ones are, therefore their structure absorbs water like a sponge. They are easier to work with when shaping them or gauging them, but harder to maintain. I took this photo because I liked the colour and textures in the bricks of this old wall.
Hanging out on the corner of Brick Lane and Bethnal Green Road - with the amazing and wonderful Rachel Cole!
Rachel is the unofficial leader and convener of the Brick Lane Posse. She organizes meetings of the gang and invites new attendees to join our gatherings. If you would like to hang out with a bunch of (very!) lively t-girls, contact me or Rachel herself. There is nothing more fun than a day or night out with a bunch of mischievous and giggling ladies like us!
Love and Kisses to All!

Last week I bought this little bunch of mystery bricks.
Pic by the seller...
I always love the surprise.
And a little wood.
This sits on a property with a newer house near the river. I'd passed it over a thousand times.
I took this a while back, worked on it thinking the background was going to be white. Added a dark vignette. Now on NEW flickr, it doesn't necessarly look good.
***had permission from previous owners to take photo from their property.
