EAST MIDLANDS DIALECT slang. both verb and adjective. Brock means broken.
Similarly, Breck is a verb which means to break something.
Brock can be substituted by the word "Bost" (burst) when referring to balloons, tyres or milk cartons etc
But, Breck or Brock are not used generally when referring to having a break from something or using the brakes on a vehicle, these similar sounding words are always said in their original English form eg. 'I'm having five minutes break' or 'slow down and put your brakes on'
East Midlands dialect is very diluted in modern speech and to a large extent, is dying out, so these words are considered 'common' sounding nowadays. A lot of words spoken in the E.Mids region of England have Danish origins. The author D H Lawrence, himself an Eastwood man would have been very familiar with the word 'brock' and its use in the vernacular.
