There was a program on TV (Sky Discovery channels) a day or so ago, called "Victorian Christmas" or words to that effect.
It showed home made bricks process. It's a five day X 24 hour process just to fire them.
Then there's the collecting clay, needing it, throwing the bricks, leaving them to dry, transporting them to the kiln, building the kiln, collecting the fuel, etc.
Ahh the Hoffman Kiln. I remember emptying one of those at Prestongrange Brickworks one summer. It had been closed down quite a few years and we were opening up the kiln and handballing the fired bricks out of it and palleting them. Long hours, but great fun.
