Zeppelin Damage: Cloth Fair, London.

This house is the oldest residential property in London. It was built Circa. 1597

It actually survived the Great Fire of London as it was within the walls of the Priory.

In 1916 it was damaged in the Great War by a Zeppelin bombing raid and was repaired in 1917. They were not able to source the same coloured bricks, so nearly ninety years later Dyebrick were asked to supply their products for this preservation job. This property has a Grade I listing.

Dyebrick products were also used to tint repairwork further down the building following futher attacks from bombing raids during World War II.

Dyebrick is the first choice for Preservation Companies and is approved by many Local Authorities.

2 x Classic Brick-Red Tinting Kits and 2 x Brick-Age Kits were used for this project.
