Nottingham Suburban Railway, Part 3

Many Thanks Alex for spotting the mistake, I must have had a senior moment when I transferred the address over from my Bennett of Derby post. Martyn

Nottingham Suburban Railway, Part 3

Just like to say thanks to you for you having been & photographed the Hathern Brick Co. copping brick above. Your photo has given me the answer to a question that I posed myself. I had seen a photograph of this wall on disused-station.org.uk & I was intrigued to see what the company name was stamped in the brick, as it was unreadable from the photo. So I went to Thorneywood last week & found that a fence had been erected on top of this wall at the hostel & you could not see the top of the bricks. I walk by the end of the road to the bungalows but did not think to go up to them. Never mind, your photo has revealed the answer anyway. Thanks. Went onto Woodthorpe Grange & found that the bridges in the park are also topped with these Hathern copping bricks. You may be interested to read what I have written about the Thorneywood & Mapperley brickworks. http://eastmidlandsnamedbricks.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/nottingham-brickworks-mapperley.html All the Best, Martyn
