Our multifunctional cast iron bricks celebrate London landmarks built using a combination of these two historical materials.
This brick represents the brick walls and cast iron components of the German Gymnasium; where the two materials are used together to support a structure which once housed the UK’s first ever purpose-built public gym, funded purely by London’s German community in 1865. Visit the building today to see the care and craft involved in building and repurposing this Victorian structure.
