And all you need to know about the OLDCOTES bricks that that mould would have produced can be found here:

FCF (and Bobins of Course) does it again :-D . Just to verify the comprehensiveness of the list I paged down to "Pegswood". It's brick brand of which I am very familiar and yes it was there. Those bricks must be one of the hardest materials known to man!

Many of the collieries had associated brickworks, and at vesting day in 1947 the National Coal Board became owners of 83 brickworks and 2 pipe works associated with collieries. I have been to Beamish many times but haven't noticed the wall built out of bricks from different colliery brickworks from all over the North East.

I really must go to the Beamish Museum this year...

I wonder if there's any cycle sportives nearby to enable me to make a full weekend of it....

...another one of those coincidences. Michael Portillo this week has been ‘doing’ the East coast main line. Good old Welwyn Viaduct got a few minutes. If we hadn’t got to 63,000 posts on the FCF, and the dubious picture of the steam locomotive crossing the viaduct to celebrate I would have known nothing about it :-D

inclined to add a couple of 'Bridges' of my own, the two that obviously aren't the Forth Bridge are both on the Rotterdam Ring. Sadly, the Forth Bridge appears to no longer be lit at night.

An aside.... the RR is one of the most difficult bits of road I've driven and is patrolled by Daleks (the Bins in the Services are a distinctive 'Dalek' shape). Has anyone ever 'refused' to drive a particular bit of road? I got about 50yards down the steepest motorable road in the UK (Chimney Bank, Rosedale Abbey, near Whitby) and bottled it, stuck it in reverse back to the top, spent the night in the car park there and went around next morn'.

^^^ A few gorgeous bridges there Keen :D

Do those 'Daleks' exterminate wrongdoers? :lol:

There's been a few roads I'd have liked to bottle it on my bike; mainly busy ones infested with lorries...

You heard about the Dalek who converted to the Roman Catholic Church?
Spoiler: show
It went around shouting "Excommunicate!".

While you're on bridges how about this one that I've crossed a few times. Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

Just off to S Queensferry in the view of the Forth bridges to pick up some stuff from my Sister's; then off to get the new motor.
