Beck

Down under the three bridges where Bradford Beck passes through Shipley.

The recent floods have moved a lot of stuff down river, including a lot of old bricks that have accumulated in this spot. I hopped down to rummage for rarities and was rewarded by one stamped T. Bedford & Co. Shipley (see extras) which is apparently the first ever recorded from this company that operated only briefly in the 1860s. The local brick historians are agog.
