The New Brickworks

While wandering around town the other day I spotted yet another brick works being closed down. A quick invasion of the grounds of this Urban Exploration in waiting gave me the opportunity to check out the place. It was not nearly as exciting as any of the other brick works I had ever been to. Only the main shed was left, and even that was well into decommission. Sill some interesting photos were had.

The river of muck is on the left.
