Hey villagers! Have you ever wondered the reason behind the name Brick Street? In the late 1800s there was a brick plant on the corner of Brick and Stanley St. It was called Burr's and owned by the Burr Bros, Peter and Marshall. The Burr Bros also owned a Woollen Mill on Mill Street which is featured on our tour!
