Inchcoonans AD 1961
— 01/04/2024Found by Ian Suddaby on Shetland. This example is not in my possession. Errol Brick and Tile Works, Inchcoonans, Dundee. . . .
DRLC 21/03/89 AW
Found Bonnyside, Bonnybridge.
11″ square base. 7″ high at either shoulder and 9″ high in the centre.
I believe DRLC possibly stands for Dyson Refractories Limited Company (although Company Limited is the normal arrangement) – Dyson owned the site where the was found (East works) and as such I believe this was made in Bonnybridge. Dyson were still producing on 21/03/1989.
As yet I do not know what the AW stands for unless it was the customer’s initials or indeed the individual who moulded the special.
