- **Event Description**: A talk by Ian Suddaby hosted by the Abertay Historical SocietyAbout this EventThis talk by Ian Suddaby will explore the fascinating but often forgotten history of bricks and brickmaking. Ian started collecting field drainage pipes around 2003 and soon progressed to bricks. He found that working as an archaeologist was a great way to find bricks, but it was quickly apparent that there were not a great deal was known about the history of either drainage pipes or bricks. Both collections have grown considerably since then and were featured by the BBC in 2024. Large numbers of the bricks have come from important Scottish industrial sites which are currently being redeveloped, such as Ravenscraig and the Manuel Brickworks near Linlithgow. Rivers and coasts have been productive too. In addition to the collections, Ian has excavated several industrial sites constructed from bricks and a brick built kiln near Winchburgh in West Lothian, used for firing field drains. Ian's talk will include illustrated examples of where previously unrecorded varieties of mostly industrial bricks might be recovered. It will also show why brick and other ceramic building material collecting is enjoying such a surge in popularity.About the speaker:After leaving school in 1979 with few qualifications, Ian worked in farming through the 1980s. In the early 1990s he saw a TV programme called "Down To Earth" and went to university to study archaeology. He graduated in 1996 and started working in developer funded commercial archaeology - and still does.The talk takes place in Lecture Theatre 2 of the Dalhousie Building and refreshments will be served from 6pm. Non-members are welcome - donations requested.
