Bricks & blocks in Welkom: local notes
Thabong families build and extend in cement maxi bricks and blocks, often from a yard down the road. Riebeeckstad and the older Welkom suburbs add face brick garages and boundary walls. Farmers near Hennenman and Odendaalsrus use hollow blocks for sheds and stores. Ask for the strength of cheap bricks, since quality varies a lot between small yards.
Welkom: the building, the weather and the yards
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
