Our multifunctional cast iron bricks celebrate London landmarks built using a combination of these two historical materials.
This brick represents the cast iron columns and stock brick walls of Covent Garden Market; where the two materials sit side by side to form a place where Londoners would intermingle with local fruit, vegetable and flower sellers.
The cast iron roofs were added in the Victorian period and reflect the style of railway stations constructed in London at the same time. Walk the market halls today to see how the tall cast iron columns of the roof carefully conform to the bay spacing of the original shops.
Sand cast in East London by the family-run foundry, James Hoyle & Son, which was established in 1880 and encompasses age-old traditional casting methods that have been handed down from generation to generation.
