Re: Nori Brick
There were two brickwork sites, one at the Clayton side of Whinney Hill & the other at the Huncoat side. In the 1950s the half of the road outside the 'Huncoat' works was made of bricks. The sites were connected by railway & a steam engine went to & from each site. One of the workers used to yodel & you could hear him from long way off. As kids we used to play on Whinney Hill - go into the quarry sometimes & sledge down the hill when it snowed. Happy days!!
