They don't make 'em like they used to...
...at Cradley we do!

The British have a keen interest in historic buildings and there are numerous organisations and societies promoting the maintenance and renovation of historic buildings.

Cradley Special Brick are actively involved in this pursuit, as we are skilled in the manufacture of specially shaped bricks.

The images below illustrate a project to recreate an existing building at the Blist Hill Living Museum, Ironbridge (pictured right). Because of our mass of experience, we were employed to faithfully reproduce patterned and shaped specials needed.

Specialist Expertise

Projects we have contributed to vary from large renovation works to small extensions on Listed properties. Our bricks are often required for brand new building projects to help them correspond with surrounding properties and ensure the new development reflects its neighbours.

As well as manufacturing copies of bricks we manufacture a range of ornate, non-standard specials, such as dentil bricks and string-courses. All inspired by decorative brickwork found in homes and developments around the country. We also produce and stock a number of imperial size bricks for use on a multitude of projects.

Where necessary, we are able to manufacture bricks from drawings so that precise requirements can be met. This applies to new housing developments as much as historic ones.

We manufacture all of our special bricks in four standard colours of Smooth Red, Blue, Brown and Buff and we're happy to add texture to bricks if needed. You might find it interesting that, due to the type of clay used in our manufacturing our Smooth Red specials have a traditional terracotta hue.

Our special bricks can also be manufactured to suit murals or creations of public art. We can produce almost any conceivable brick shape and in so doing provide a product only hindered by the limits of imagination.
