H.G.Matthews Brick Factory



On 14th May 2010 I was invited to an open day at H.G.Matthews Brick factory in Chesham.

There were presentations by different professionals and specialists in the field, including someone from Colonial Williamsburg in America who had constructed a brick kiln and demonstrated their traditional brickmaking methods.
