G’day All,
I am trying to identify how big these bricks/blocks are from Oakwell Brickworks at Ilkeston.
I can see that they are four times longer than they are thick, and about twice high as they are thick.
In the images below they are stacked in long files in parallel to form larger stacks with each file being finish with a hollow cross stack.
Anyway, despite counting courses, and comparing that with everything from the wagon width (about 8’) and the man pushing the barrow, (5’4”),
See these three images:
I am trying to get their dimensions.

although the 1965 image may show a different pattern of brick.
