A history
London Clay is unique to the Thames valley area and is only found along its estuary and basin. The clay is primarily made from marine sediment dating back some 45 million years, back in the days when London was a tropical paradise.
The clay itself has unique properties which means when it is fired it turns yellow and sometimes pink in colour.
The Georgians made use of this clay to great extent and built some of London’s most iconic areas and buildings using this brick.
The brick was still in mass use all the way through to the Victorian times when cheap local building materials were in large demand for the ever growing industrial city.
