Colin Simonds - Morphun's Chief Designer says that after looking at the history of bricks it is clear that most construction bricks were British invented or upgraded. Only Lego and Duplo have made a significant contribution to the development of children’s play bricks and that was in the late 50’s when they redesigned the underside of the Hilary Page style bricks and added those cylinder tube shapes. If you have any evidence otherwise or other interesting history points or old set photos, do contact us. I am very interested in the origins of our trade and very proud of our British brick invention and production heritage.
