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.
