The Old Brickyard - Tanneryville


Barry Orner sent in these shots of the old Haws Refractories "Brick Yard" that used to be along Cooper Avenue. His grandfather - George (pictured above) - worked there for many years before he retired in the early sixties.
This is a shot of the work gang and his grandfather as a young man.Click on the picture to enlarge.
I know its easy in this day and age to say we have it hard at times...but when you really stop and think about it - very few of us have to endure the hard, physical labor - men like these dealt with daily - in order to put bread on the table.
