Did a little repair job on a dwarf wall at a farmhouse near here. The house dates back to Tudor times in parts.
The wall was built in the last 30yrs or so but used old bricks from the site, a random variety of ages but one or two were small handmade bricks probably over 300yrs old I'd guess.
It always gives me a real buzz to be using really old materials like that, just contemplating the folk who made the bricks and laid them for the first time so long ago, and now I've had a little part in their history too. Maybe in another couple of hundred years someone else will relay them.
