Blue bricks

Clay-fired blue bricks get their distinctive blue-black colour from high-temperature firing in a low-oxygen kiln. Traditionally bricks like these, for example the Staffordshire blue brick, were used for canal linings, bridges, and Victorian industrial buildings due to their strength and water resistance. Today, blue bricks are a popular choice for their striking colour, and blue engineering bricks can be used for areas exposed to heavy wear or moisture.
