Because of their strength, which is due to high firing temperatures, the bricks were exported to the USA and now form part of the foundations for the Empire State Building. What is the difference between 'NORI' and 'REDAC'? The latter are marked 'REDAC HUNCOAT ACCRINGTON' I know the Redac works were just by the side of the station at Huncoat. Was it they who had the cable cars that used to cross Burnley Road, or was that Nori?

Interestingly, I was having a bit of a mooch around on the site before they bulldozed it to make way for new housing and came across a number of sandstone gravestones. One with the name Hindle from 1860 sticks in my mind. Is this where the stones from Macpelah or Union Street cemetery were dumped???
