Accrington brick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

REDAC is of course a form of RED Accrington. It took me a long time to realise that. There was a brick-making firm at Rising Bridge owned by a Whittaker and one at Rishton owned by Clarke. The L:ancashire Museum own a collection of thousands of bricks given them by a collector some years ago. They may have a list of the makers' names.
