Nori isn't what it was. What happened to the big chimney?

Just saw some newish houses today and they seemed to be made from alien (southern) bricks. It's good to know there are plenty built with good old indestructable Nori ones.

Re: Why 'o' Why

Nori's are industrial bricks. Made to last.......Many houses built by Fielding in and around Blackpool where made using Nori's back in the 20s & 30s. You will have heard the expression Built like a brick S*** house........These brick eat drill bits and tend to hurt when doped on ones foot.

Re: Why 'o' Why

I bet more people have heard of Accrington than Haslingden but Haslingden isn't part of Hyndburn is it?

I always thought Holland's pies were made in Baxenden! I think I need to study where the boundaries are.
