(Note – SBH – Hurll appear to have manufactured bricks for the Indian Railways and it is possible that NWR stood for North Western Railway (NWR). This was a railway company in India during British rule. It was established in January 1886 under the name of “North Western State Railway” by merging the Scinde Railway, Punjab Railway, Delhi Railway, Punjab Northern State Railway, Indus Flotilla Company, Indus Valley State Railway, the eastern section of Sind-Sagar Railway, the southern section of Sind-Pishin Railway, and Kandhar State Railway. It was later renamed as “North Western Railway (NWR)”.
However, perhaps due to the find location of this brick, does NWR represents a Canadian Railway Company? – There is a Canadian Railway called Lacombe & North Western Railway (L & NWR).
