Description
The Hitch brick wall at Buckland Bury, located on the roadside extending north from Bury Weir Lake, is an early 19th-century frontage wall. It is constructed of Hitch's patent bricks, which are buff in color. The wall stands about 2 meters tall and features five triangular front buttresses and rounded copings, all made of patent brickwork. In 1828, Caleb Hitch of Ware patented these hollow interlocking oversize bricks, measuring approximately 12 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, which reduced the need for mortar and enhanced structural strength. While primarily distributed around Ware, these bricks were also used further north along the A10, which was formerly a Turnpike Road.
