A BRICKMAKER has helped to create a community building.
The York Handmade Brick Company, in Alne, North Yorkshire, has provided 50,000 bricks for the Galtres Centre, in nearby Easingwold.
The £1.1m sports and entertainment centre will open next year, and completes a 20- year development plan for the former derelict manor house.
David Armitage, chairman of York Handmade Brick, said: “This was a very important project for us, because we know the Galtres Centre very well.
“It is part of the social fabric of Easingwold, which is only a couple of miles away from our factory.
“We are thrilled it has turned out so well.”
Frank Barugh, chairman of the Galtres Centre’s management committee, said: “We are delighted with the very professional and tremendously successful work carried out by York Handmade Brick.”
