Worcester notes on bricks & blocks
Farms in the Hex River valley and around Rawsonville use cement blocks for packsheds, cold rooms and staff houses, and face brick where the owner wants a neat finish.

Bricks, blocks and brick making in Worcester
Out in the Breede River valley, Worcester builds for farms and a growing town. Grape, fruit and wine farms around Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River valley need packsheds, stores, staff housing and boundary walls, many in cement blocks. Zwelethemba and Avian Park keep extending with blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick and plastered homes. The valley is very hot in summer and cold in winter, with frost on clear nights, so fresh bricks need shade and water in January and cover in July. Block yards and hardware stores sit in the industrial area, sand comes from the valley, and deliveries reach the farms by truck.
Typical cement bricks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: cement bricks made or bought locally for stores, kraals and staff houses
- Homeowners: cement bricks for an extension, a garage or a plastered boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: bulk cement stock bricks from a nearby yard to cut transport costs
