Altyryn Coping Brick, Alderney Street, Newport 2 December 2017

A 180 degree coping brick from the Altyryn Brickworks, Newport.

 

Kelly’s for 1895 lists the “Alteryn Brick Co; works Alteryn, Newport” (Allt-Yr-Yn). In the 1906 Kelly’s, it had become the “Alteryn Brick, Tile & Terracotta Co Ltd” and the Directory of Quarries (DOQ) for 1937 and 1941-2 lists the “New Alteryn Brick Co, Alteryn, Newport”, the last reference to this company. Post war, it was absorbed into the Star Brick & Tile empire.
