Gateside bricks in the Western Necropolis in the Lambhill area of Glasgow. These were made in the
Gateside Brickworks in Cambuslang, which opened in 1899. In 1963, there were six brickworks in this area (Barbauchlaw, Blantyreferme, Newton, Northfield and Gateside) producing 54.5 million bricks per year.

The kiln building at the #Brickworks in #Toronto in 2014. Since then the floor has been raised to accomadate a #geothermal heating system.

I love how the changing sunlight changes the look of this place, this was taken in the late afternoon in January.

Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, Glasgow and its surrounding communities were home to a large and diverse range of brickworks, each of which stamped their own mark on their products. This sample from a small area of the foreshore below Dumbarton Castle gives you a fair idea of this diversity.
