Joe Chesters looks pleased with his Lane End Brickworks Exhibition"

Library, The Precinct, Buckley

1 April 2006

"THE LAST BUCKLEY BRICKYARD - AT WORK!"

The exhibition on Lane End Brickworks was in April 2006 and was formed of three elements.

Joe Chesters used to work at the brickworks when he was a teenager and it was known as Hancock's. Over the years he made a photographic record of the processes of brick making and some of these have been incorporated into a sequence to illustrate these processes.
The Buckley Society displayed images and information from their digital archive and magazine and some artefacts collected from the works at the time of closure. (see 3.358)
The Flintshire Museum Service displayed various artefacts from its collection.
