A product of the Halifax Glazed Brick Works near Hipperholme that was once operated by Allen & Son (Halifax) Limited. The works later produced Selfrac brand refractory bricks.

Cast plate and frame on side of earth closets at Hipperholme, West Yorkshire. This is clearly not in its original context. My guess is that this, and the one seen in the next image, were plates designed to be opened to facilitate removal of the night soil bucket at the back of the closets. I think it was designed to be slid up and out.

Earth closets at Hipperholme, West Yorkshire. Note the size of the flagstones used for roofing.

What do you do with the flawed or faulty glazed bricks? Use them to build the walls of the buildings in your brickworks. A nice selection of colours in these walls at the Halifax Glazed Brick Works that was once operated by Allen & Son (Halifax) Limited.
