folks (usually lovely looking fashionable people :) ) sometimes sell their clothing on the street along brick lane on a sunday...
you can get a nice idea of what it's like here: www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2009/08/day-of-being-a...
This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.
Well, Ruskin said a lot about the stones. A small tribute to the humble bricks and the workers who laid them!
An AH James brick by the front gate of a house at the bottom of Greenmeadow Way. The reverse will almost certainly be marked "POИTИEWYDD" (Pontnewydd - reversed letters were common in 19th Century die sinking) - see comment below.
This brick will have no connection with this spot.
Nothing is known about the company, it appearing to be absent from trade directories, but interestingly, another brick company - see “C DAVIES & CO" has the same pattern frog, and the same “Pontnewydd” with the first N reversed. This suggests that one took over the other, keeping the same die for the reverse stamp. An AH James brick was found used in a house believed to have been built in Cwmbran in the late 19th century. Which might have come first, Davies or James is unknown, but the former are more frequently encountered, the latter being something of a rarity.
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.

Photographed Llanyrafon Manor, Llanfrechfa Way, Cwmbran. The 17th Century manor has recently opened to the public after restoration. It was farmed until after WW2 when it fell into disrepair, and sold to Cwmbran Development Corporation in the 1950s.The only reference I can find to the Aberdare Brick Company is an entry in the Cardiff, Newport & District Trades Directory of 1914, stating that the company produced fire and building bricks, and their registered office was 10 Canon Street, Aberdare, phone number 200, Works, Aberdare. I believe the works closed in the 1920s
I don't normally play around with the presets but thought this effect looks cool with the graffiti

This is part of a series of photos that I took for a summer employment program that I helped to coordinate for the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), part of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. The program began its pilot year in the summer of 2016 at which time we connected 50 students with jobs at nine municipalities within Allegheny County (Pittsburgh). As of this writing (9/2/2017), the second year was even more successful at facilitating employment as we made connections for over 170 students across 40 community organizations.
Taken with a 1980s Tokina FD-mount 70-210mm telephoto zoom lens and an inexpensive adaptor purchased through eBay. Lens is fully zoomed in; aperture at ƒ/16.
At the UNESCO Heritage site Zollverein at Essen in the German Ruhr.
The site comprises a former coal mine, coal washer and coking ovens.

Unlike the large stars in the previous image, these stars are serving the function of adding structural strength to a row house. I thought it was of interest that this row house was located on William Street. I wouldn't mind living on a street named after me. ;-)
Brick Lane is a long street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. The street runs from Bethnal Green in the north, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Sylheti Bangladeshi community.
