The hand made bricks

    By the second day of demolition, the cellar at Yarrow's property was exposed. This picture looks at the southwest, back corner.  It looks as though the back wall of the cellar, which is to the left, is lined with machine made bricks.  The ones on the far wall look different.  They appear to be hand made.  This is what the concern has been about all along, that these bricks may have been made by Yarrow Mamout.  Previous posts on this blog have a picture of bricks from the same wall but taken from outside the cellar several several years ago.  That picture was sent to an archaeologist who said it showed hand made bricks and suggested the cellar, at least this part, pre-dated the house. This is the reason for thinking these bricks might have been made by Yarrow.  To enlarge the picture, just click on it, or you can download it to your photo editing software and then enlarge it.
