Clinker Beach: Atlas brick
Taken on 11 June 2015 and uploaded 15 November 2024.
I've only vague information for this: there was an Atlas Brickworks at Bathgate (Armadale) in Scotland - West Lothian, midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. It existed between, roughly, the early/mid 1880s to the early/mid 1970s and may have continued elsewhere. Atlas bricks may have been exported as far afield as Australia and Canada. This brick has a very shapely 'frog'.
