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 dont know if they would be the right ones and willing to travel but theres a beach up here littered with nori bricks at least 400. its ardeer beach north ayrshire scotland.

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

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

Few hundred yards through Church Lights towards Blackburn, on left theres a narrow path/road Bob, just up yon on yer left.;)
 
Unsure, but is there not a place up Burnley rd in Altham (where the scrap yards are) that sell reclaimed bricks and slates etc? Just a thought
 
Drove past coming from Blackburn this aft, the lane i mentioned "Connoleys" Have a big new sign at the bottom of it, Stevie Wonder couldn't miss it Bob.;)
 
Bob, Drive into a garden wall in the area between the Norbreck and Devonshire Rd - all the garden walls around there, especially on Oakland Avenue have NORI brick walls;):)
 
Whenever I see Noris on the Fylde, I am reminded that Mr Ellis, builders merchant at St Annes got paid for every one of the, He was a Nori director and had a contract for sup-0lying them over here. There's millions of 'em
