IMAGE OF THE MONTH: A bricklayer at work on top of a chimney at Plymouth Power Station in 1949. This photograph tricks the eye. It looks like the man is bending over a model village until you see the brick he is laying at a dizzying height above the ground. Photographer: Unknown photographer for John Laing building company.
