Bricks are fascinating. We see them every day but rarely do we look at them in detail.
This book describes the history of brickmaking on the Isle of Wight and includes brick-laying, brickmaking terminology and a detailed gazetteer of around 120 of the Island brickyards with accompanying maps and photographs of the yards and their workers.
Locally provided photographs and transcripts of oral history recordings have been included to make this a comprehensive and extensive read for any brick enthusiast or Island historian.
