This brick railway bridge crossing the Thames was designed during the 1830’s
by Isambard Brunel, one of the greatest engineers of all
time; he also designed the Great Western Route from
Paddington Station and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
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.
Found: Cwm Lickey, Pontypool, near the coal levels. There were hundreds of bricks scattered and dug in for hard standing, the purpose of which is unclear. Bricks were predominantly Star Newport, although there were Star Caerleon and Star Cwmbran. All appeared to be seconds or rejects, including a few "Siamese twin" bricks, fused in the kiln.
This is the first time I have seen any Star brick with reversed letters in the die.
A possible explanation for the Star "debris" at this site: a Torfaen County Borough Council guided walk leaflet gives the location of where these bricks are as where Star Brick "in the Mid 1950s produced the very first breeze blocks from waste or spoil from the mines of Blaendare". It appears that a temporary site was set up to produce breeze blocks, possibly experimentally. The site is right up against the slag tips, but there is no evidence of any permanent building. Certainly the works would have had a ready supply of reject bricks to creat a hard standing and firm up the access path.

Brick Lane is a street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. It runs from Swanfield Street in the northern part of Bethnal Green, crosses Bethnal Green Road, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street.
