Dunno how I missed these. I like them - especially the brick kiln. I grew up amongst kilns exactly like these
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Another desolate spot .... You have a knack for finding these places! They have a sun-baked, slightly HDR look which suits them very well and the colours are pastel -toned, quite original. A great insight into a lost world .

Near a pit village called Bermuda which also had substantial clay deposits and fairly extensive brickworks with lots of those round kilns owned by the Stanley Brick and Tile Company
