And some suppliers made a very handsome profit !

Wondering if there were many brickworks around (what became) the city centre in the 1870s ? There were plenty in the suburbs. I expect a significant number of ready made bricks were transported in via the canal system (?) As well as sand from the suburban sandpits ?
