Hi all,

I live in Herefordshire but am researching a brickworks in Gloucestershire. I am sure the Hynburn area is delightful but at 82 years old can't travel up there.

The Brickworks had, by 1880, 'a nine feet clay mill or sieve pan by Whittaker and Company of Accrington' and a 'Matthews Patent semi dry double brick press Christopher Whittaker of Accrington maker'

I find that the Ledgers and other records of this Company are held at Hyndburn District Libraries.

Any chance of some kind person checking this out for me? Names of purchaser might be The Rea Brickyard, Lysons or Foster but any Gloucestershire link might give a clue.

Thanks in advance

John
