  2. With my other hat on, after I stopped making my living as a potter, I made it as a plumber. Sometimes I took old boilers out of houses, and needed to brick up the hole where the balanced flue had been, for that you need to match, as close as possible, the bricks. (Lots of brick houses in britain, very few wooden ones). So you can take a sample and try match it at the brick library. They have over seven hundred different varieties of brick there, and makers catalogues for the rest. And a HUGE brickyard, on the old railway freight-yard, must be a quarter of a mile long.
