Brick Fair traveled to Birmingham, AL to show of all their blocky goodness. The dealer's section was not huge but slam pack full of goodies, both stock and custom.
Then we checked out the exhibits, which I took pictures of. SO MUCH to see.
Ye olde Castle. Nice details on the buildings, and a witch being burned at the stake while the military walks on by and a lady calmly feeds her chickens.
Some unused building bricks taken with a yellow filter and a more defined colour added afterwards in photoshop - just for something different
I don't normally play around with the presets but thought this effect looks cool with the graffiti

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.

This group of buildings is situated on Newbegin. Nearest the camera is the Metodist church (1870) flanked to the left by the church hall (1875). On the left of the picture is the Old Police Station of which Pevsner says "No. 75 was built as a police station, 1879 by Smith & Brodrick. A neat design of red brick with hipped slate roof, five bays with round-headed openings."

Brick wall test (back) for minilander scale building. I want a brick wall that is 2 studs wide with brick (tile 1 x 2) on both sides but stable enough for a tallish 1 story minilander building. Other suggestions are welcome.
Another one for the textures set, the texture of a brick.
Otra para el set de texturas, una textura de un ladrillo.
Yeah an Original Title
When I first knew Peterborough in the mid 70s these Brick Transporters were all over the otherskirts of the town along with the chimneys - my niece and nephew called them "baby cradles" long gone

By the way - These "cradle ways " must have a correct name - do you know what it is?

I actually had to lie on my stomach to get this one.
Believe me, that attracted some weird looks from people passing by.
This brick church in Picher, Oklahoma will remain long after much of the rest of this newly created ghost town decays.
The Picher area became the most productive lead-zinc mining field in the Tri-State district producing over $20 billion worth of ore between 1917 and 1947. More than fifty percent of the lead and zinc metal used during World War I were produced by the Picher district. At its peak over 14,000 miners worked the mines and another 4,000 worked in mining services. Many of these workers commuted by an extensive trolley system from as far away as Joplin and Carthage, Missouri. Mining ceased in 1967 and water pumping from the mines ceased. The contaminated water from some 14,000 abandoned mine shafts, 70 million tons of mine tailings, and 36 million tons of mill sand and sludge remained as a huge environmental cleanup problem.The area became part of the Tar Creek Superfund site.
On April 24, 2006, Reuters reported that Picher had been scheduled to be closed and all residents removed. Due in large part to the removal of large amounts of subsurface material during mining operations, many of the city's structures have been deemed in imminent danger of caving in
William Symons opened a brick yard in 1851. By 1859, Colthurst & Symons & Co were leading brick makers in the area. By 1881 large numbers were employed, 85 by one manufacturer. The largest yard was the Crossway Brick and Tile Works of Colthurst, Symons, and Co. By 1887 there were three yards, Crossway, Fursland's Somerset Yard, and New Yard. New Yard was held by William Symons in 1898. Brick making in the area declined in the early 20th century.
There was a two way trade across the Bristol Channel, coal from South Wales and tiles etc from the West Country, especially Bridgwater.
The Edlogan Tinplate Works was opened in 1806 and closed in the 1930s.
