Basic weekly pay there was about £35per week, we were paid on how many bricks we could set in the kilns each week, we could meet the basic required amount by Wednesday easily, after that we were on bonus money.
Not long after that photo was taken the NCB sold the brickwork to the Midland Brick Co who preceeded to close it down, I was transferred to Welbeck colliery, and my wages fell to £40 per week bring home.
