Who built Bursledon Brickworks? What was their life like? Get hands-on with history to learn about the people of Victorian Swanwick. As well as exploring our handling collection, you can talk to us about the only remaining steam-driven brickworks in the country, our programme of events and the benefits of volunteering. Get up-close with a couple of our curious bricks and takeaway a leaflet with a voucher for museum entry.
