It is believed that the cream bricks seen in Teignmouth and elsewhere where made at a brickworks in Kingsteignton using the fine clay from the Bovey Basin. The bricks were hard and strong, more like a ceramic. There are many houses in the area of orange brick that use courses of cream brick for strength at corners and for door and window surrounds. Far fewer houses are built of the cream brick, with details in orange brick or the pale grey Devonian limestone.
