Could the 'boozey' refer to 'boose' meaning a cattle stall and that these
were old bricks designated for reuse in building cattle stalls or even other
farmyard structures rather than for quality buildings?

Here (below) is a small problem which came to me from a friend, who had
it from another friend. Can anybody throw any light? I've tried a bit
of web searching, with no results. The phrase "this and adjoining
counties" might refer to Worcestershire and the area round there.

=====================================================
A little problem for you. Can you tell me what are "Patent Manger and
> *Boozey Bricks*, as used by most of the estates of Noblemen and
> Gentlemen of this and adjoining counties" c.1880s, not in my 1st ed.
> OED under boozey or brick.

> Google ain't any help!
