Brick Lane London. Street market every Sunday but I was there on a Saturday so missed that. Great old colourful area of east London
I didn't hang out in John and Kurt's room, so I don't know what garnered the most attention this year, but this is my favorite of John's new MOCs. Wonderful stylized background!
This year's Brick Fiesta was a bit underwhelming compared to the last two, and I didn't exactly help matters by hardly building all year. But had a good time hanging out with Steve.
The Cornes works was on, Slippery Lane, Hanley, adjacent to the Shelton Colliery. By 1900 it was sharing the marl hole with the Sun Street Works to the south. In 1867 the works was operated by Richard B Clarke and Cornes only appears in the 1896 directory. By 1904 the firm was trading as C Cornes & Sons but in 1907 the works is listed as operated by the Hanley & Tunstall Fireclay Co Ltd.
This example can be seen in the comprehensive displays about the North Staffordshire brick industry at the Apedale Heritage Centre.
I totally failed my 'Shadow' assignment. The marker's comment was "no thought into the shot and there is no composition whatsoever!". That's what happens when I leave things to the last minute. Evidently I knew I would do badly since I really did put no effort into it photographing a plant's shadow (hahaha... hence I shan't be posting it). So for my resubmission I went with this vintage comic book look. Personally I think I needed stronger sunlight to sharpen the edges of the shadow.. oh well I can't control the weather... or can I?
A more familiar brick from the Dennis Ruabon brickworks. The stamped "3 1/8" is the thickness in inches (and I checked!).
Found at the shore between Leith Docks and Seafield water treatment works.

Long brick road part of the original Dixie Highway that ran from St. Augustine to Volusia County Florida. The 9-foot wide road is lined entirely with vitrified bricks. Constructed in 1914 as part of a major route along the East Coast of the United States that extended from Florida City all the way to Ontario, Canada.

I like the fact that two people are walking by with white shoes on, for me the image dosent work without them.
This brick was found under Newport Transporter Bridge some years ago. At that time I thought it was a rogue English brick that had strayed onto Welsh soil so just put it in storage with loads of others. I have since discovered another collector here on flickr who also has one, so I have unashamedly copied the text that appears under his photograph!
Text from Cold War Warrior:
"Believed to be Bishpool Brick Co. Bishpool Brickworks, Chepstow Road Newport, opened c. 1886, closed ?
Not on 1886 OS maps or others (1902, 1922). There was a wood at Bishpool called “Brickyard Wood”.
Cope's Directory of Wales & Monmouthshire for 1907 gives: Bishpool Brick & Tile Co, Marlborough Road (Newport)."
A new brick chimney rebuilt and relined with stainless steel flue liners. The original dated brick were reused.

Enoch Hampton was making bricks at Eastwood Vale in 1851 and E Hampton & Sons are listed in 1896 as operating Eastwood and Mousecroft Fire-brick and Marl Works, Hanley. The company was still operating in 1924 but had disappeared by 1940.
An 1879 advert for Hampton & Sons from a trade directory can be seen here.
