Re: Accrington Red Bricks
It would be worthwhile looking at Mike Rothwell's splendid book on local industrial heritage
I have just come across an item which gives some detail of the Lancashire Brick & Terra Cotta Co (Baxenden) Ltd. In 1896 their phone number was 121. Managing director was Thomas Whittaker. The letter I have is signed by Thomas Whittaker Jnr. They made 'Plastic and semi-plastic red facing bricks, red terra-cotta ornamental brickwork and special engineering bricks'
