DIDO.1 20,804 Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Got these bricks from the front door step of the huntsman's house at quite an old hunt kennels. Just the thought of the famous huntsmen than have walked over them made me pull em out of a skip. Wish I hadn't seen your brick collection.....Im going to have to start a brick collection now.
