I always thought that the company was called Accrington Brick & Tile, with the main plant only being called 'Nori'. The other plants being Enfield, Whinney Hill, and Deerplay, near Burnley.

My dad was raised in the farm on top of Whinney Hill and worked at Nori all his working life. As the quarry grew, he saw his old home disappear to provide shale for the bricks he made.

He got me a couple of summer jobs, once at Whinney Hill, and once at Enfield, where I was supervised by Thurston, who, I can confirm, did not invent the Nori brick.
