ORIGINS - Episode 1: Where a Brick Begins

Most people see the finished brickwork… but very few ever see where a brick truly begins.
In this first episode of ORIGINS, we take you inside Furness Brick and follow the earliest stages of the brickmaking process, from raw shale extraction through crushing, screening, and preparation.

Filmed inside our working factory in Cumbria, this short documentary-style series showcases the authentic processes, machinery, and craftsmanship behind traditional British brickmaking.
Established in 1845, Furness Brick continues to manufacture bricks using time-tested methods, combining heritage, control, and modern performance.

In this episode:
• Shale excavation
• Box feeder operation
• Conveyor systems
• Pan mill crushing
• Silo storage preparation

Made in Cumbria since 1845.
🎬 Subscribe to follow the full ORIGINS series and see how a brick is transformed from raw material into the finished product.
