I get my kicks out of bricks!
Home / Unidentified bricks

All ideas, theories or wild guesses as to the origins of any brick in this section can be forwarded via my contact form. Some of the bricks listed here because I do not have any factual evidence as to the brickmaker albeit we believe it is a particular firm ( any confirmation would be excellent) but other bricks are a complete mystery as to manufacturer.
