🧱 EXHIBITION 19/09/25
Bedfordshire Brickworks Exhibition - Friday 19th September 10:00 – 16:00

ℹ️ ABOUT
We tell the story of the Marston Vale Railway Line engineered by Robert Stephenson and opened in 1846. It was the first railway line to reach Bedford and for much of its life serviced the vast clay workings and brickworks at Brogborough and Stewartby; later transporting much of London's rubbish to landfill in the former clay workings. Now a thriving Community Rail Line and at the heart of the East - West Rail Scheme to reconnect Oxford back to Cambridge.

✨️ WHAT TO EXPECT
Andrew Mortlock, London Brick Archivist, will be bringing an extensive collection of archives, photographs and ephemera connected with the brickworks that used to dominate the landscape along the section of the Marston Vale Line between Bedford and Ridgmont and other areas of Bedfordshire. Andrew will also be bringing his collection of company magazines, the Phorpres News, containing records and photographs of London Brick Company workers. Andrew and his family are steeped in London Brick with over 200 years’ service.
