  1. Old Brickyard

    Share Share Post
    There is an old ruin of a brick yard near our house at the bottom of Ballykelly park. There were bricks made there long ago - about ninety years ago. It was owned by a man named Mr. Cassidy. You cannot see any of the walls. There were 24 windows in it, twelve at each side. There was a furnace beside it to burn the bricks. There was a dwelling house also near by.
