:confused: :z-block: Hi everyone why is it that nearly everysingle red brick in the uk is made in such a small town like Accrington and yet i cant see a factory hmakes them :confused: :z-block:
 
Oh i no that place but Accringtons so small and they use our name across the world for eg hollands pies and the bricks its amazing what a small can do in a couple of years!
 
mine is i cant drill any wall in my house to even put a picture up, ive to get my son with his industrial hammer drill, its a pain//
 
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.
 
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.
 
I've had it..... more than once….

On my foot twice. And then one at the back of the head. It certainly does hurt my friend.

hollands pies are made in haslingdon.
 
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.
 
Yes i live in Baxenden and the pies are made in Baxenden near Rising Bridge mc donalds. But the reason i said hollands pies were made in Accy is because more people no Accrington!
