My town's first ever LEGO convention came and was just a mile from my house. I really had no excuse not to go. So I frantically built stuff. I'm out of practice and it was the last minute (okay, month), but I managed to fill my table. I'm writing about it more here: eilonwy77.blogspot.com/

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.

A stamp impressed into a coping brick on the wall of a front garden in Victoria Street. The Star Brick & Tile Works on Llantarnam Road was about 400 yards from this house.
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.
'Special Reports on the Mineral Resources of Great Britain', HMSO, 1920, states that “the Llantarnam works of the Star Brick & Tile Co brings fireclay from the Varteg Deep Black Vein Collieries Ltd, Varteg, Abersychan by rail (GWR). "Grog" is added consisting of old firebricks, and calcined sandstone from the company's clay pit adjacent to the works (Comment: "The Eighties") in which a fine section of red marls with interbedded sandstone is exposed. These marls furnish the materials for the red bricks and tiles manufactured by the company, who make sanitary pipes also”.
A wall. How many times has it been bricked through? A wall that has been home to so many windows. A story beyond each one?
A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
Found in a pile of builders rubble on Heol Las, Talgarth. There was an Ebbw Vale brick in the same pile too, but my pictures of that came out badly.
There is an entire area in the old downtown district in Oklahoma City that has been refurbished and is called "Bricktown". Of course all the buildings are old and made of bricks and some streets and sidewalks are also brick. This is actually the Bricktown Brewery.
