WWI Destroyer - 8

Looking around the site of the breaking of ships at Hayle 1920-1949, I see in the shore various bricks; a number of those on the surface (what lies beneath I yet do not know) are Graigddu bricks, similar to those used on GWR locomotive fire boxes (locomotive brick arches). Could those bricks have been used in the WWI destroyer?
