This study of the defunct brickworks in Bulhary and Úvaly villages draws primarily on the archival sources from the years 1945–1948 stored in the State District Archive in Breclav, based in Mikulov, mainly on a component fund A 2 ONV Mikulov: Reichel, König, Jerabek company's Brickyard in Bulhary and J. Langer firm's brickyard in Bul- hary – for Bulhary and Vilém Oser firm's steam brickyard in Úvaly, 1945–1948 – for Úvaly. An important source of data is the preserved post-war correspondence between institutions (District National Committee in Mikulov, Provincial National Committee in Brno, the Local National Committee in Pulgary etc.), supplemented by study of period photographs, maps, and memories of contemporary witnesses. Certain parallel in the history of defunct factories can then be found primarily among the firms Langer and Oser, when both brickworks had the same existential problems during the post-war years, became considerably indebted, although from a relatively different reasons, and disappeared in the same period.
