There's an arts building on Ravenswood just north of Devon; it's been fancified from the days when I knew it. Anyway, they incorporated one of the bricks from the Purple Hyatt, which is over more by my palatial home. Fun Fact: I was a bartender at the Purple Hyatt, although I didn't get there until it became a Raddison. We still called it the Purple Hyatt. I had a great time there, except when they assigned me to work in the dumb sports bar. My sports conversation is shall we say limited.
Ps. I love how Flickr’s map service knows all of these names for neighborhoods that nobody else knows. It’s telling me that this photo took place at the “Winchester-Hood Garden Homes.” I can assure you that while these buildings are nearby, that is not where this photo was taken. Interestingly, the W-H Garden homes, while hideous, are the last remaining affordable housing in this area, and I have them in the back of my mind as a refuge should I have to stop working suddenly. I’ve lived in worse places.

The original Castle Brickworks was established by William Malcolmson and George Alletson in 1866 with the Castle Firebrick and Coal Company being formed in 1875. In August 1925 the company put an additional new works into production at the former Elm Colliery site. This works concentrated exclusively on the production of building bricks and finally closed in August 1970 as investment in new plant was necessary and demand for bricks had been declining for some years.

I love the varieties of brickwork to be found around here. The yellow house has the same brick as our front garden wall, warm and mellow in the winter sunshine.
This font is pretty simple, but we index it for completeness sake. Does anyone know when these bricks were produced? As far as I can tell these bricks have only been in one set, but it feels like they ought to have been in more.
As always: you can try writing with this font in Swooshable's Font Tester. Woohoo!

This is my collection of marbled slotted bricks. Most of them are Automatic Binding Bricks, but some have "LEGO" printed in block letters underneath. The mostly white brick (which has yellow marbling that didn't photograph well) is apparently a form of PRIMA brick.

I'd been in a bit of whorish mood all afternoon, so imagine my delight when I was heading back to the car and came upon this sheet metal-clad timber warehouse, behind stacks of timber in the yard, behind a brick wall. Ooooh, line overdose.
