Accrington brick : ウィキペディア英語版 | Accrington brick Accrington bricks, or Noris are a type of iron-hard engineering brick, produced in Altham near Accrington, Lancashire, England from 1887 to 2008 and again from 2015.〔(Accrington Observer 2008-09-26 )〕 They were famed for their strength, and were used for the foundations of the Blackpool Tower and the Empire State Building. ==Name== Three theories are proposed: *Iron was written on the chimney of the brickworks, but backwards with the I at the bottom *The letters IRON were accidentally placed backwards in the brick moulds thus spelling NORI. This is by far the most common story. *It was a deliberate decision of the owners to differentiate them from the REDAC brick works in Huncoat standing for Accrington Red.〔(Accrington Forum )〕
