The aim of the "Watching" series is to draw attention to some of
the very interesting items around us, things that perhaps we don't
notice as much as we might. The first was "Bridge Watching", and
when this was put "on the Net" it produced, to the surprise of the
author, such a pleasant flood of e-mail that another was written,
called "Water Watching". This, too, was kindly received. So it was
tempting to continue with the theme. Brick-watching is an
inexpensive pastime, which can turn an old brick wall into an
exciting find, and bring to your attention the fascination that is
hidden from those who look but don't see, or perhaps see but don't
look. It is taken for granted that everyone knows that a brick is a
lump of clay moulded into a rectangular block and then baked; but
there is of course much more to it than that. Armed with a little
knowledge, every brick structure is an item of interest, something
to be noticed, perhaps to be jotted down in a record, or
photographed, drawn, painted, remembered. The author hopes that
this gentle approach will provide some insight into the esoteric
world of bricks, and will increase the pleasure of finding and
studying the many brick structures (including the multitude of
fascinating ruins) not only locally but all over the world. It
might even convert the reader from being indifferent to becoming
enthusiastic.
