Nubrick1 - gantry & Pyramid2nd February 2001.

Located in the industrial heart of UA City, the Nubrick brick yards is HUGE! The place is great. It has about six major buildings and four minor ones.

Outside of the main shed there is a huge number of other sheds, heaps of them. This place is shed heaven. Some of the sheds still have some interesting things to see in them. One of these is the 'Pyramid', a big shed which used to store powdered clay used in making bricks. There's a great gantry you can climb up and get a view all over the complex. Be aware that the top gantry has heaps of holes in it and is just about falling apart. Is not good!

View from the top of a gantry near the 'Pyramid' (partially visible on extreme right) showing the main shed to the left, the admin buildings at the end (2 story) storage sheds middle right, a washroom, and the main chimney. Off to the right past the storage sheds is the quarry, a hanger like shed and clay processing plant.

Um, ahh, yeah well it's not like there is lots of toilets in the place

It's a long way up! Lots of algae down there
