A rare opportunity to visit Bulmer Brick and Tile Company's brickworks, one of only a handful of surviving traditional brickworks in the country. Participants will be able to see how traditional bricks are hand-made. The course will also include a tour of the historic buildings of nearby Long Melford, Sudbury.

This course is aimed at anyone interested in industrial heritage and architecture, or those who are currently involved in the conservation or sustainable reuse of this typology. The mini-conference will provide insight into a range of industrial typologies across Essex. This course will be held at the East Anglian Railway Museum, part of the branch line from Marks Tey to Sudbury which crosses the impressive Chappel viaduct.
