Subject: PDLM Bricks
Dear List,
While doing an archaeological standing building survey in St Helier, Jersey,
I have found a hand-made brick
with P.DLM stamped into its frog. Colour is reddish brown, a standard
house-brick, not engineering or firebrick.
Has anybody any ideas who made it and when?
If it helps, the same wall contained a pale yellow RAMSAY firebrick from
Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, several
unmarked yellow bricks which look like London clay, a great deal of local
Jersey-made bricks (all unmarked)
and an early C18 'Dutch' brick. Other than the latter, they all look
mid-C19. I don't know when the wall was built.
You could say I have a mixed bag!
