A building worker cutting down and shaping a brick by using a brick or ‘scutch’ hammer tool. The work took place on a house in Kennel Lane, Fetcham, Leatherhead, Surrey, England, UK c. 1930. Brick hammers are used to split bricks cleanly and chip away (‘knapping’) any of the excess brick using the chisel ‘blade’ of the head. Here a hammer and masonry chisel, used to make an initial cut to a brick, lie on the floor – a vintage 1920s/30s photograph.
