Douglas Brick
A Scottish Douglas Brick has been found in Ravenhead St Helens. Having completed a lockdown walk and on the way home. Spotted an unusual coloured brick on top of the ground. I turned this over and found a three quarters bat Douglas Brick. It had to be cleaned a bit but good brickmark was evident. Once again, I found a Scottish brick that is far from its homeland and was probably used for a furnace in the local glassmaking businesses.
