London LBC Phorpres Brick found this morning on Ravenhead Road.

Found this London LBC Phorpres Brick whilst out walking this morning on Ravenhead Road. Building work was taking place and I had the opportunity to get a picture of this brick through the fence at the Veola Reclycling site. A lot of the bricks I locate is on private land and so I have to improvise to get my photos. Depending on the time of day I can also get some good environmental effects. I usually have a walking stick with me these days or an improvised Shepard's crook from anything I can find from left over branches on the floor.
You have to watch out for sharps and so I carry gloves as well.
A little research. The LBC trade-name Phorpres came about because Fletton Bricks made in Bedfordshire are pressed twice in each direction so that they are literally 'four pressed'.
