Below – This is the same stamp on a brick found by Ian Suddaby very near to the site of the Calder Fireclay Brickworks.

(Note SBH – In Kenneth W Sanderson’s book “The Scottish Refractory Industry 1830 to 1980″ on the James Dougall & Sons Ltd, Bonnybridge page he writes ” The family were also controlling shareholders of the Flemington Coal Company and associated with Robert Forrester & Co, who at a later date were associated with the Bonnybridge Silica and Fireclay Company” – Robert Forrester & Co could be represented by the brickmark detailed on this page but I think with Ian Suddaby finding an example close to the Calder Fireclay Works then Robert Fleming & Co is more likely).
