Re: Nori Brick

A question for Nori brick sorter.
I am interested in old railways and tracks and seem to think there was a line running from Huncoat station to the brick yard at the bottom or Whinney Hill where Hansons now are.
This is only because there seems to be the path of an old line along there.

When I came to this neck of the woods I did a bit of brick haulage and took many a hand made brick well wrapped in straw to furnaces where they were built into the fire box.
I also did a lot to Barry power station nwhere they used millions of the acid resisting ones.
I decided that my tender young hands weren't suited for that work, it was all hand ball in those days, no cranes or stacker trucks so I decided to give it the big heave ho and find something with better pay and less back ache.
