brickworks

I've engaged in this hobby on and off for years, but it's been more off than on recently, I'm keen to get back out and put the exploring shoes back on! So of course, I've been looking through some old derps and this place really was one of my favorites, so wanted to get a report up, even if my...

Introduction This is my third visit to this local old Pipe and Brickworks site. On the first visit I was only using my phone for photos and didn’t go upstairs, I did bring the camera on my second visit but again I didn’t go upstairs as I didn’t trust the old wooden ladder, especially after...

Introduction This is a place I wanted to tick off whilst on my North Wales exploring trip back in Spring. I wasn’t expecting much and although there isn’t much to it, I quite liked this place and I found some history on it so I thought it was report-worthy. History & Information Cemaes Bay...

Finally got around to visiting here for the first time earlier in the year on an Urbex trip to North Wales. Didn't do much research prior to the explore, so I went only expecting the remains of a brickworks, I didn't realise the site has been used by various industries over it's life. The...

Introduction This is one of the many sites I visited recently whilst on an exploring trip in South Wales. It’s been on my to-do list for a while and although it’s only a simple little place I was really keen to do it. Note: This is a re-post following the deletion of the original thread from a...

We haven't managed to get any exploring done for a few weeks so for 2022 we decided to get back on it with a trip to North Wales. This place has been covered loads on here but it's one we've always wanted to see and was our first visit of the day. History - Porth Wen brickworks was built in the...

Introduction As it was a nice day me and a friend decided to take a look at an old Pipe and Brickworks site near the Suffolk Coast. We've had this pinned on the map for a while and decided to give it a go. It was a good explore and I haven't constructed a report for a while so I have decided to...

Decided to check this place out as we were passing through the area. We like industrial explores being reclaimed by nature and this place is definitely on the extreme end of that spectrum! History - In 1892 a bed of fireclay was discovered near to Coed Talon and a brickworks was subsequently...

An unplanned explore on a sunny August bank holiday evening led to a return the following weekend fully armed with our cameras! These are shots from both visits. Stewartby Brickworks has stood in the small village of Stewartby since the 1920s. Stewartby, then named Wooton Pillinge, soon became...

Quick explore while working in the area. This site is well documented, here is an extract from theviewfromthenorth.org. "In 1848 the Dalmellington Iron Co opened a large ironworks at Dunaskin near Dalmellington. The works flourished into the twentieth century, but by 1921 had become obsolete...

For my second report on this forum I am going to be showing you the remains of the derelict Stewartby Brickworks site that I visited last month. Stewartby Brickworks was the home of London Brick Company since 1900. At its peak, the factory produced a fifth of England's bricks, 500 million...

This site has been done so much on here but there’s so much to see that I just had to go! Myself and 2 fellow explorers adorned our gear and travelled to Hampshire to see an old brickworks. It closed down without notice in 2009 due to going into administration. Access was easy but due to the...
