Hello Alison,I have only just spotted your post, I don't use this Bill Gate's contraption to often, the predictive text does my head in.
As to your question, yes I do have an arial photograph of the Redac Brickworks the photo also shows the old railway viaduct that carried the coal from Broad Meadows Colliery, (Huncoat Pit), to Altham Coke Works.
As for Reg, I worked under him and Billy Middleton from 1963 until 1965 until I was trained as one of the three forklift truck drivers employed by Redac.
If you would like a copy of the above mentioned photo please P.M. me
Stay happy as ever, Your's Taddy
P.S. did you by any chance once live on Burnley Lane in the village ?
