Stewartby Brickworks: Derelict Drone Footage - Iconic British History for London Brick
Stewartby Brickworks, Bedfordshire - London Brick Company. With the imminent demolition of this site, I thought it would be a great opportunity to capture some last historic footage for all to remember it by. Stewartby Brickworks provided jobs for hundreds and operated for over 100 years. Now Forterra carries the London Brick legacy forwards.
Thoroughly enjoyed filming this for you, it's an amazing sight in the skyline. I'm sure a lot of the local people will find this footage really interesting, a lot of memories and history lay here. Thank you for watching.
Stewartby was originally two Wootton farming settlements, Wootton Pillinge and neighbouring Wootton Broadmead, the Wootton Pillinge LBC village was in 1936 renamed Stewartby, taking its new name from the Stewart family, directors of London Brick Company since 1900.
The brickworks was home to the world’s biggest kiln and produced 18 million bricks at the height of production.
BJ Forder & Son opened the first brickworks in Wootton Pillinge in 1897.
This site ran for over 100 years providing bricks to all areas of the UK. At the height of the industry’s production there were 167 brick chimneys in the Marston Vale. There are four chimneys in Stewartby.
In the 1970s Bedfordshire produced 20% of England’s bricks.
At its peak London Brick Company had its own ambulance and fire crews, a horticultural department and a photographic department, as well as its own swimming pool inside the factory, and ran a number of sports clubs.
The site closed in 2008 as the owners could not meet UK limits for sulphur dioxide emissions. The four chimneys remaining were due to be demolished upon closure but these have since been listed for preservation of Bedfordshire's brick-related history.
The site is due to have new housing built on it in the next five years. The chimneys must be demolished due to the railway line.

ArtVoiceWV: Sycamore Pottery
Pam and Ren Parziale launched Sycamore Pottery in 1971 where they bought land, planted 4,000 trees, raised two children and grew a pottery business from what Pam calls – a fantasy. Their first commission was for a Shepherdstown historical group that wanted 500 hand-thrown pots for a fundraiser. That then led to work with the National Park Service and from their pottery grew and won awards. Every pot and plate is made the old fashioned way on the potter's wheel. In 2005, Gov. Joe Manchin awarded Pam with the Distinguished Arts Award at the Governor's Arts Awards ceremony for her service as an artist, administrator and advocate of the arts.
