It sort of exists but the bricks produced these days are nothing like the old fashioned well known Nori bricks. They used to have a smoother almost shiny surface. The current ones are just like bricks from anywhere else. I wonder if this is possibly because they no longer use clay from the quarry up the Coppice? It's a long time since those buckets used to cross Burnley Road.

The brickworks which exists now is on Whinney Hill Road.
