Heatherykn
Found in Coatbridge by BJ.
Heatheryknowe Colliery & Fire Clay Works, Bargeddie, Glasgow.
The mark only reads Heatherykn and appears complete as does the brick. I appears that the brickmark stamp used would normally have been used on a bigger and longer brick but a reduce mark has been used on this shorter brick. Rather than use a smaller stamp they appear to have chopped the end of the larger stamp losing the ‘owe’ – it certainly appears that way!
Note the thumb print to top right.
