Octo F

Found Banknock – could be Octo E. (Note – SBH – I cannot locate the relevant photograph for this page. Hopefully I will stumble across it one day! Nor can I find the brick in my brick shed so perhaps it was left at the find site for some reason – too large to carry?).

Hepworth Ceramic Holdings plc (GR-Stein Refractories Ltd. parent co) bought the Bonnybridge Silica & Fireclay Co. Ltd in 1972, closed Bonnybridge works in 1973 and closed Chapelhall in 1980. Therefore between 1972 and 1980, GR-Stein Refractories probably continued to manufacture bricks with this trademark for a time.
