Have you seen this page? (search for 'brickworks' to find it on the page):
www.offalyhistory.com/articles/95/1/Tullamore-amp-its-Environs/Page1.html
Wonder if the Local Studies Library (not sure where it is located) would have more information like photos, etc.?

No Aghadowey I hadn't seen that link,what I though was interesting was the Offaly history site had a very good book section & I may  have a browse to see if there is a good book that may show some thing of life at work in brickworks  &  the canal.Thank you ,Nipy.
