Scotland's Brick and Tile Manufacturing Industry website

This is a website that I have not come across - www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk - concerning the history of the Scottish brick and tile manufacturing industry.

It's a real labour of love put together by Mark Cranston, from Jedburgh, who won a Scottish Heritage Angel Award for his endeavour in 2016 (see www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk/scottish-heritage-angel-awards-2016/), and carries sections detailing different manufactured bricks from across the country, as well as various articles on the history of the industry and those who worked in it (see www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk/scottish-uncategorised-information/ for a list iof brickmakers).

If your ancestors were brickmakers, builders, or if you just fancy a read through some fascinating related subjects, it's well worth a vist!
