My dad worked for Nori for 30 years. He began in January 1931 aged 14 yrs at Whinney Hill. He was called up in 1941 and served in the Royal Navy till 1945. While he was away there was a fire at Whinney Hill and he was transferred to Clayton le Moors site. He never went back to Whinney Hill but I know that production did continue at that site later. Blackpool Tower was built of Huncoat brick originally but while my dad was at Clayton it ws refaced with Nori brick. The Hounshill shopping centre in Blackpool was also built of Nori brick. My house and garage are Nori brick and can vouch at their toughness as many bits of drills have been broken trying to drill into them. Never a better brick made.
