Brickworks Museum, Victorian steam-driven brickworks in Swanwick, England.
The Bursledon Brickworks Museum contains original machinery and equipment from the 19th century, demonstrating traditional methods of brick manufacturing through working demonstrations.
Built in 1897 by Robert and Edward Ashby, the facility expanded to produce over 20 million bricks annually by 1935 using steam-powered technology.
The museum preserves the industrial heritage of brick production through exhibitions about workers' lives, manufacturing processes, and the impact on local development.
The museum operates from April to October on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at £8.
Monthly steam events showcase the only functioning Victorian steam-driven brickworks remaining in the United Kingdom, complete with its original clay processing machinery.
