This access route is cut through the large brick arches supporting the railway which runs into Salford Central Station. They were built in 1838 by the Manchester and Bolton Railway, which offered a range of passenger and freight services to the locality. The original terminus was at Salford Central railway station on New Bailey Street, which lies directly ahead of the spot depicted here. The line is still active - it is served by trains to and from Manchester Victoria railway station, towards Salford Crescent railway station, Bolton, Wigan Wallgate and beyond.

When I built my first house in 1975, I bought a truck and trailer load of hand made bricks from Mexico. They are called Mexican Fire Bricks. When I started my second house in 1982, I bought another truck and trailer load to add to the remainder of the first load. Total, there were 44 pallets and about 40,000 bricks. I paid 8 cents a piece for them - delivered! I now have just one pallet left.
(527), This will bring back a few memories for the people that worked in the old Warboys Works, No17.
These bricks have interesting marks on them, apparently from resting on other bricks in the kiln.
On my neighbors house in Toronto. Probably made at the Toronto Brick Works around 1910.

Took a pile of pictures at Brick Fiesta this year. Turnout was a bit disappointing compared to last year, but still had fun. I seemed to be damn near the only non-Texan at the con.
Dan Siskand and company are nuts. But it must be nice to write this off as a business expense.
Star bricks are some of the most commonly found locally, and there were several brickworks in the area. This one is from Newport. Found on Sunnybank Road, Griffithstown

This lovely dignified house at no. 6 King Street, Bristol, is an instructive building. On either side of it the houses are timber-framed. Part of one of them is seen off right; the other, across Queen Charlotte Street, is the famous Llandoger Trow public house. They were built around 1665, but only 35 years later, in the first year or two of the 18th century, brick frontages rather like this one were going up around the corner in Queen Square.
Changes of fashion are often indicative of a change of thought. These orderly, harmonious façades were the expression of the Enlightenment; the Age of Reason had no place for the higgledy-piggledy chaos of timber-framed houses. Almost overnight they came to be thought hopelessly old-fashioned, almost barbarous, and large numbers were given new brick fronts.
If we look closely we can see that this is what has happened here. In fact this house is contemporary with its neighbours ...or perhaps I should say "these two houses", for the two gables and off-centre door suggest that two houses were combined behind the new frontage. The roofs would have had gables facing the street, like the house next door, but they must have been cut back at the time of the re-fronting. The generous provision of windows, the string courses between the floors and the quoins all of one size, are typical of about 1720. The fine shell hood over the door (see next photo) looks of an earlier style than the rest; it may have come from elsewhere ...but they are difficult things to date.
This earliest phase of Georgian domestic architecture is my favourite. It looks a little primitive compared to what came later but is, to me, more vigorous. Later on windows were fewer, further apart and more deeply recessed, with thinner glazing bars; but I prefer this effect, in which you seem to be looking at a screen of winking, gleaming glass panes, framed by smart, white-painted woodwork.
