Behind The Wire . . .

Eerie and deserted, one of the abandoned building of the Cheltenham Brick Works, just outside Georgetown, Ontario. The site was first developed in 1820 when Charles Haines, a millwright from Cheltenham, England, built a small settlement and in 1848 gave it the name of Cheltenham. The site, the first in Canada to mass produce bricks, shipping to national and international markets by truck and rail, included a small town for workers, and continued brick making until the fifties. Now it's derelict, surrounded by a high chain link fence topped with barbed wire, into which curious visitors have made neat holes . . .
