Fletton is an area of the city of Peterborough, in the Peterborough district, in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England, south of the River Nene.
Notable for its large brickworks, the area has given its name to "Fletton bricks".[1]
^The eponymous bricks are cheap and many hundreds of millions of them are used in building every year. Machine moulded and burned, they are uniform in shape with sharp square arises, dense and have moderately good strength (the average pressure at which they fail is around 21 N/mm2). The bricks are light creamy pink to dull red in colour and because of their hard, smooth surface "kiss marks" are distinct on the long faces in the form of three different colours. If it is to be plastered, two faces are indented to give a better grip; these are described as keyed Flettons.
