Another brick of Michel on a visit to be pictured: Pat. pend, handcrafted L (or E) and 2 on the opposite side
This one is really interesting - the result of a conversation with MAGICBRICKS:
Cracked / burnt material. Formed by thermal decomposition.
This is particularly common in white shades, as titanium dioxide is often used as a coloring agent there.
Cracked material is burnt, superheated material. Titanium dioxide in the right concentration can even act like an acid and the plasticizing screw can be eaten away.
These brick chimneys are part of a museum brick factory in the famous pottery town of Tokoname, Japan.

Bronze die plate with the name and location of the Vernon Brick Company that was used in the brick press at their works at Park Pit, Poynton.
If you use this as texture or otherwise, mention my name (Suvi Korhonen) if you can.
It would be fun to see what you've created with it. Leave me a comment with a link! :)
Detail of north tower of what was the Croydon B power station. Architect: Robert Atkinson c1950. Nobility of form contrasts with vile latter-day retail units.

Scottish Agricultural Industries was a subsidiary of the state-owned Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI to you and me) and produced fertiliser and such like. This interesting building front at the former factory on Salamander Street remains. Interesting that they have both Despatch and Dispatch offices!
On the 1895 Ordnance Survey town plan of Edinburgh, this is marked as a Chemical Works and Bone Works, conveniently located across the road from Leith Slaughter House and Leith Soap Works.
The 1898 GPO directory for Edinburgh and Leith would explain the "J&J C" crest;
Cunningham, J. & J., Ltd., manufacturers of
sulphuric acid, artificial manures, and oil
cakes.

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. :)
The Malawian soil lends itself nicely to be made into bricks. If you can afford a brick house, it is better than living in a mud hut.
When you start brick production, the first few bricks are dried in the sun and you use them to build a kiln. The subsequent bricks shaped in a wooden mould are fired in the kiln to improve their durability.

The Slade Rooms, Broad Street, Wolverhampton. Much of the terracotta in central Wolverhampton seems to have a Green Man theme.

In trying to get my photo mojo back I went on a Meetup Photowalk. This one was using only your cell phone camera with minimal post processing. In fact I didn't do anything to the first two photos, not even cropping! Good to get back to taking my time with the composition. It was really fun and the people were great.
This was in the Mt Pleasant area in Vancouver.
As I was walking to the butcher after work tonight the sun belting down on this red brick wall and the composition of all the elements within this shot caught my eye.

Another first time using a certain film, this time Kodak Ektar 100.
Walking down from the flower market leads pretty much directly on to Brick Lane. A long, busy, Sunday market with plenty of colours and bits of street art dotted around.

I love this one in black and white because it really brings out the pattern of the bricks. I took the picture on a diangle to give this one something a little different than what the eye normally sees

In 1867 Shaw, Goldstraw, & Swift first appear as manufacturers of fire bricks and sanitary tubes, at Clayton Street, Daisy Bank, Longton. They are not listed in the 1865 trade directory although it is clear thatthe site was in production before 1857 when the south side was occupied by the Orchard Place Brick Works and the north side by Clayton Street Brick & Tile Works. In 1879 Goldstraw is no longer involved with the firm which then traded as just Shaw & Swift. By 1912 Ayshford Street was built along the access off Clayton Street and became the address for the brickworks. Still listed in 1924, the business had closed and the works had been demolished by 1936.
Both the bricks illustrated are from nineteenth century buildings in Longton and the upper one with the reversed 'G' in the lettering is, I believe, from quite early in their history and contains some quite large pebbles.
