Mick was very helpful in the SGMRG'g research into a Hickman & Son brick
(also Stourbridge) found at the Serridge engine site in Coalpit Heath

Dear List,
Slightly off-subject I know, but I don't suppose anyone knows about a brick
manufacturer called Bruffords of Stourbridge? We've just found a brick made
by them at Morwellham Quay, used to line a limekiln, before the mid-1850s.
