Nori Bricks wanted
A pal is wanting to acquire some pre-decimal size Noris. They are not the conventional red-glazed ones, but are a yellowish outer colour, though the insides are red. The faces are rough rather than smooth. I think they might be called 'rustic' Is it possible to go to the Whinney Hill site and buy from there? Where else would these be available, even second-hand? Any phone number for the Whinney Hill site?

I thought that site was now closed, don't think they would have any bricks left over in Imperial sizes any way.

Re: Nori Bricks wanted
Hanson Building Products closed its Accrington factory earlier this year. They have recently donated a model of a 1909 double brick press machine to Accrington Market Hall - I carried out the official unveiling last Wednesday morning as Mayor of Hyndburn. The firm's head office is at:-
Hanson UK headquarters
Hanson House
14 Castle Hill
Maidenhead
Berkshire SL6 4J
