Across the Inner West, and much of metropolitan Sydney, brick is ubiquitous and easily recognisable. Ron Ringer, author of The Brickmasters, 1788-2008, takes you on a journey sharing voices form the past which take you through time and place. And where did it start?

Attendees are welcome to bring or donate a brick to the Local History Collection.
