brickworks [i use to know every brickworks in england and wales that was in production between 1960 and 2001]
when i first came to bedford on buisness there was about 9 works in the area today there is one which looks like it may close in the near future,
my particular speciality was cladding material [brick stone slate tiles etc] for listed buildings from 1550 to 1900
now semi retired working in the motor industry and slaving on HT
only a few hours now, anyone else going out Tomorrow or Saturday or whenever soon have a nice time!
Weather is still very pleasant even quite hot yesterday afternoon while I was in Olhos D'Agua, sitting on the beach, whiling away a spare hour having tramped round various building sites in the interests of my correspondents from another place.
There's a couple of nice brick and tile works near Algoz and Paderne!
Hi Cubsur, Re the brick & tile works in Algoz & Paderne, can you buy direct from the factory or is it trade only? would be interesting to see if they have some unusual tiles etc what you couldnt get in the shop outlets. Cheers Jayjan
Jayjan - no idea sorry. I just see them from the bus!
Just got back and another fantastic week, as per usual Bournemouth was a stress free airport, your in and out and on your way to where you want to be. Portugal was fantastic once again and continues to impress us every time we go back, weather was very hot and pleasent at nights, overall a great holiday!
Glad to hear you had such a great time sambache.
