Given that it was built during WW2 I would hardly say they had money to burn it was all borrowed from the USA. Bricks were used because concrete aggregates were prioritised for hardened defences and even then there wasn't enough. Brick clay on the other hand was relatively abundant, even then the bricks were generally made with holes in to use less clay.

Incidentally this is Buckland Rifle Range and although still owned by the MoD it is free to roam.
