GEM. And it's all the way from Coed Talon in Wales. Gem Brick, Tile &amp; Terra Cotta Works became Alyn Brick, Tile &amp; Terracotta in 1901 - so it's at least older than that. Latter closed in 1916 and site was converted to a works producing silica to go into Vim as a scouring agent.</p> <p>You see. Bricks are fascinating history lessons at your feet! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2407#post-25589 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:30:06 +0000 kaputnik 25589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes innocent railway was built in the days of stone... not nearly as interesting as bricks in my opinion :P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2407#post-25588 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:28:14 +0000 Min 25588@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I see any I'll be sure to keep quiet about them. :-P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2407#post-25587 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:24:00 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 25587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm pretty certain it's an 'E'...
