S & F Views

The S & F brickworks were located along the south and east margins of the bend in the Raritan River historically known as Roundabout. In the west the brickworks were bounded by Washington Canal which connects the South River to the Raritan. The south margin contained clay pits, common brick yards, brick sheds, drying sheds, and a dock capable of accommodating a steam ferry. The east margin of the river contained the S & F Fire Brickworks. Further east were located the Enamel and Front Brickworks. The Enamel and Fire Brickworks were bounded in the north by a man-made slip approximately 400 feet long and approximately 100 feet wide. This slip contained bulkheads and loading docks and was used for berthing and loading scows, barges, and other vessels. See the 1931 Sanborn insurance map for the Enamel and Fire brickworks locations. (See links to S & F General Views below)
