Our multifunctional cast iron bricks celebrate London landmarks built using a combination of these two historical materials.

 

This brick represents the domed iron roof and brick perimeter walls of the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington, where the two materials are used together to form one of London’s most iconic performance venues. The iron roof was built, erected and even load tested in Manchester, before being taken apart and transported to the capital by train. On arrival it was then reassembled on top of the Fareham red-brick walls. The building opened in 1871 as a tribute to Queen Victoria’s late husband Prince Albert. It’s well worth a visit today, either to admire the structure or enjoy a show within.

 

Sand cast in East London by the family-run foundry, James Hoyle & Son, which was established in 1880 and encompasses age-old traditional casting methods that have been handed down from generation to generation.
