I get my kicks out of bricks!
Home / English / English, Welsh and Irish bricks etc

I initially went in search of all UK bricks and was often found in the Newcastle and Durham areas on brick hunts. However, I soon realised that collecting the huge range and variety of English, Welsh and Irish bricks would be beyond me so I decided to focus on Scottish manufactured bricks. I will of course uplift any non-Scottish bricks I find on my travels through Scotland. I have around 700 English, Welsh and Irish bricks but due to website space availability I have only listed online a very few.
