I don't think we need to worry about a shortage of bricks for our collections. A feature in Coal Quarterly magazine of 1963
stated that the NCB produced 500 million bricks a year at their 62 brickworks, this was out of the national total per year of 7 billion 142 million bricks.
This photo in the article is of a lad in the drying sheds, and you thought you had the most boring job on earth!
