Photo (credits by various photographers) captured during the Brick Built: Engineering SCI event held at the Science Center of Iowa & Blank IMAX Dome Theater on March 16th - 17th, 2013.
This brick was found under Newport Transporter Bridge some years ago. At that time I thought it was a rogue English brick that had strayed onto Welsh soil so just put it in storage with loads of others. I have since discovered another collector here on flickr who also has one, so I have unashamedly copied the text that appears under his photograph!
Text from Cold War Warrior:
"Believed to be Bishpool Brick Co. Bishpool Brickworks, Chepstow Road Newport, opened c. 1886, closed ?
Not on 1886 OS maps or others (1902, 1922). There was a wood at Bishpool called “Brickyard Wood”.
Cope's Directory of Wales & Monmouthshire for 1907 gives: Bishpool Brick & Tile Co, Marlborough Road (Newport)."
Experiment, did not look through the viewfinder while taking majority* of these photos, just pointed the camera in a general direction, clicked the shutter and hoped for a decent result
This photo was taken of the brick embedded in the public foot path at Kettle ness just above the alum works.

Enoch Hampton was making bricks at Eastwood Vale in 1851 and E Hampton & Sons are listed in 1896 as operating Eastwood and Mousecroft Fire-brick and Marl Works, Hanley. The company was still operating in 1924 but had disappeared by 1940.
An 1879 advert for Hampton & Sons from a trade directory can be seen here.
