My favourite bricks
(A thread)

London Stock Brick

One of my favourites. This brick was popularised in the 20th century in London and East England. The bricks are made from yellow clay and gives it its distinct yellow colour. These bricks are still used Kent and Sussex today. In my opinion, it’s a mid brick.

Cream city brick

I love aesthetics of this brick: the colour and texture especially. This brick is found in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in Menomonee River valley. These were the bricks responsible for giving the city the nickname “Cream City” in the 19th Century

Mud brick

This is an OG brick. The mud brick is an air dried brick made from a mixture of loam, mud, sand and water. They were primarily used from 9000 BC to 4000 BC. I wish they would bring the OG brick back but I guess there’s better bricks nowadays.

Staffordshire blue brick

Probably my favourite brick. It’s lacks in texture and detail but makes up for it with its blue colour. Ironically, this brick is made from red clay which is heated in a low-oxygen environment. This Wrick was primarily used in the 19-20th century.
