Charnwood Forest Brick Ltd is a component of Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC. The Company produced approximately 3 million facing bricks and special shaped bricks per annum from its manufacturing base at Shepshed, near Loughborough. Hand made facing bricks are here being manufactured and placed on rail trollies to go to the dryer before firing.

Brick production ended here in 2023 and the works then concentrated on Hathern Terracotta wares & FabSpeed pre-fabricated brick components. The remaining business has now been sold to Shaws of Darwen and the works is to be closed.

ARC - I/S Amager Ressourcecenter

Amager Bakke (Copenhill) is a striking, angular building whose entire mass is wrapped in a shimmering “brick” façade of stacked aluminum panels, giving it an almost pixelated, industrial sculpture look. Its most famous feature is the sloping roof that becomes a full‑length artificial ski slope with green surface in summer and snow in winter, flanked by walking paths and a dramatic outdoor climbing wall on one side. Large, square openings and a clean, minimalistic profile make the plant read more like a contemporary cultural venue or art museum than a conventional incinerator, especially when illuminated at night. Behind this expressive architecture, the facility works as a combined heat‑and‑power plant, turning the city’s non‑recyclable waste into both district heating and electricity for surrounding households.

How'd you end up on my side of the bed?
What? This isn't your side.
I was sleeping there! I can't sleep on this side! How'd I end up here?
What difference does it make? You're asleep!
I slept terrible!. All because of you!
You don't think the cat lying on your face had anything to do with it?
The cat?
She looked so content, I didn't want to move her.
She was content because this is her side!
Your cat has a side of the bed?
I'd rather not answer that question.
Understandable.

Tobacco warehouse

The Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse is a grade II listed building and is the world's largest brick warehouse, with a net floor area of 1.6 million square feet. It stands 125 feet high, and at the time of its construction in 1900-01, claimed to be the world's largest building in terms of area. The 14 storey building spans across 36 acres and its construction used 27 million bricks, 30,000 panes of glass and 8,000 tons of steel. The overall design was by A. G. Lyster, the Dock Engineer, but Arthur Berrington almost certainly played a part. The warehouse was a late addition to the Stanley Dock complex and was built on land reclaimed from the dock. It has now been converted to apartments with retail and commercial uses on the ground floor.

The Florence ironstone mine near Egremont continued in use until 2008. It was the last working deep iron ore mine left in Western Europe and produced ore, products for the cosmetics industry and high quality haematite for jewellery. Production ended when BNFL ended the contract for the mine to supply water and the cost of pumping rendered the mine uneconomic.

I've been visiting your garden, lord.
Which one is that, archangel?
You know, Earth.
You mean what was once a garden.
True, although some beauty remains, despite the devastation.
Humans have made a mess of it.
They try one's patience, don't they?
Some do. But it may not be an issue for long.
Do you have plans, lord?
Maybe. Let's just say I've been tossing a stray asteroid around.
Oh?
A little exercise is healthy, I've heard.
I gather humans may not find it so?
No, but I'm not asking for their opinion in the matter.
No surprise there, lord.
