Using Archives to Explore Scotland’s Brick Heritage

Event Description

Dr Moses Jenkins is a Project Manager at HES, and the author of the books ‘The Scottish Brick Industry’ and “Survey and Assessment of Traditionally Constructed Brickwork”. In this talk he will be using HES Archives to discuss the role of the brick in building Scotland’s heritage.

Scotland has many excellent examples of traditionally constructed brick buildings. From the iconic Templeton’s Carpet Factory in Glasgow to windswept North Unst lighthouse and countless other examples, brickwork is an important part of our built heritage.

After this talk there will be an opportunity to view archive images related to the talk.

Who should attend?

We welcome anyone with an interest in Scotland’s built heritage, or broader aspects of building conservation in Scotland. This talk does not assume any previous or expert knowledge.

You can join us in Stirling at the Engine Shed, or online via Zoom.
