Found on the old site previously occupied by Giscol when they took over the Etna Brickworks, Bathville, West Lothian.
The bricks are cored and are stamped on a stretcher.
They are dated 29/03/91 and 07/11/91.
It looks like they were used to build some sort of office block on the site. Now demolished and mostly cleared.
The stretchers and headers of the bricks are textured.
