Rather battered and not of the best quality is this unusually side-stamped brick seen in a wall at the long disused Stonetrough Colliery site in North Staffordshire. I have no idea where in South Leicestershire this was made or why it should have travelled so far.

Early NCB brick from Dunaskin Brickworks near Dalmellington. This one uses a modified stamp from Dalmellington Iron Company days.

Dunaskin Brickworks, near Dalmelington, Ayrshire. Closed 1976 by the Scottish Brick Corporation.

Hednesford brickworks was originally owned by the Cannock Chase Colliery Company. It was taken over from the NCB in 1974 by the Butterley Brick Company and closed some years later.

The brick, tile and fireclay works at Prestongrange Colliery in East Lothian opened in the 1890s and was operated by the Summerlee Iron Company, NCB to 1969, and the Scottish Brick Corporation until 1975.

The brickworks at Roslin Colliery was established by the Shotts Iron Company in 1937. It continued in NCB ownership until 1969 and then under the Scottish Brick Corporation until 1977.
