no.41: London's Yellow Stock Brick

a blog by Glyn Harries published 12 July 2022

A long, beautifully illustrated blog about London Stock Bricks- and how they are made from Loess. Glyn is very careful to discuss the various suggestions that London Clay was involved in the making of LSB but he comes down on the side of Loess. This blog, no.41, has been republished on the Loess Appreciation Group website.

























































Marks Tey brick kiln (in Essex) . Marks Tey is one of the few brickfields where we have information about the local brickearth. Grenville Lill in his Leeds U PhD thesis managed to get Marks Tey samples and do some useful thermogravimetric analyses.
