Bricks, blocks and brick making in Newcastle
Coal and steel country in northern KwaZulu-Natal has a long history of brickmaking, and Newcastle sits right in it. Madadeni and Osizweni grow by the street, with new rooms, family houses and boundary walls built in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has many face brick homes. The town gets cold, frosty winters and hard summer thunderstorms, so fresh cement bricks need covering in both seasons. Block yards, hardware stores and small backyard brickmakers supply most jobs, and engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair machines. Deliveries to farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser take a little longer, so plan loads ahead and check the farm road.
