After visiting the ship yards, we drove past one of the many brickpits. It looks like a place from 500 years ago, I guess nothing really has changed. Everything is done by hand with a big workforce. Mud is being mixed up and pressed in forms, then dried and then burnt - done is the brick. It is hard work and the workers live with their families straight along the side of the pit.
