Discovering the Ibstock Brick Works Nestled in the quiet outskirts of West Hoathly, the Ibstock Brick Works stands as a haunting monument to Sussex's industrial past. As I walked through the sprawling, vacant shells of buildings, I was struck by the raw beauty and eerie silence that now pervade...

Felt like an update was needed seeing how overgrown and boggy it is now Not my most photographic marvel. Thanks for viewing, this was my fourth time visiting so I didn't take much time at all and I missed a few things. As well as industrial history (the infamous...

Introduction This is my third visit to this local old Pipe and Brickworks site. On the first visit I was only using my phone for photos and didn’t go upstairs, I did bring the camera on my second visit but again I didn’t go upstairs as I didn’t trust the old wooden ladder, especially after...

Introduction As it was a nice day me and a friend decided to take a look at an old Pipe and Brickworks site near the Suffolk Coast. We've had this pinned on the map for a while and decided to give it a go. It was a good explore and I haven't constructed a report for a while so I have decided to...

Hello. First post. Actually I'm a longtime lurker but wasn't willing to have the photos I've taken when they're associated with my username so this more anonymous handle is the one I'll be using. Yes, this sitehas been well covered but I wanted to see it for myself and try and produce some...

This was a pleasant little walk on a beautiful evening with sunset and nice fat moon. Not much to see to be honest but it was good to catch something after an earlier failed attempt elsewhere. Stewartby Brickworks has stood in the small village of Stewartby since the 1920s. Stewartby, then...

No longer there. Now a housing development (or at least the start of one)! Apparently bricks (or possibly tiles?) were manufactured here some time ago then it was derelict for a long time. I'll try to grab a shot of what it looks like now. Thanks.
