Chasewater Railway Museum Catalogue

Brick Collection

At Chasewater Railway we have a small collection of bricks from local brickyards.

The railway existed to carry coal from the local pits to the canals or to main line sidings. A number of local pits had their own brickworks to manufacture bricks for use in lining pit shafts, etc., and bricks from these yards are those that we like to collect, as the coal, brick and rail industries are all connected together.

We do have bricks from further afield in the Midlands and beyond.
