Welcome to

Brickworks & Potteries of the Ipswich Region

A site investigating the history of brickworks and potteries of the Ipswich area;

including what remains today in the form of artifacts.

 

Me and part of my home collection.

ABOUT ME:

For a number of years I have been researching railways and mines around Ipswich: 

see my other site:  http://www.railxarchaeologyipswichqld.com  

In the process of my hobby I found that the most frequent artifacts that had survived at the various sites were bricks. 

After having been invited to take over the brick collection at the Ipswich Historical Society I have decided to major on the current subject.  Hence this web site.

What’s New:

I have added a short section on what happened to Claypave after its closure in 2019
