Caledonia brick found on the Falkland Islands
— 21/10/2023Found by James Floyd on the beach at Coffin’s Harbour, New Island, Falkland Islands. Caledonia Fireclay Works, Paisley, Renfrewshire. . . . .
Narielwala
Found on the site of the old Caledonia Fireclay Works, Paisley.
The brick looks visually the same as other products from the Caledonia Brickworks. I believe this is another example of a Scottish manufactured brick being supplied to an overseas client and marked with the customer’s name. I believe the customer was S.S. Narielwala, a general goods merchant from Bombay, India. The relevant information below shows that Narielwala did supply English fire bricks and clay to his clients in India and there are other adverts which state he is selling fire bricks but they do not state from where.
