Bridgend Dinas Brick Co - a photo on Flickriver

            It's alright, I haven't completely taken leave of my senses, I've discovered a couple of brick collectors here on flickr, so this is for their benefit.

The Bridgend Dinas Brick Co was situated at the tiny hamlet of Fountain near Aberkenfig in South Wales. The works was in production for just a few years at the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th. It was on a site on the opposite side of the Duffryn Porthcawl railway line to the infamous Parc Slip Colliery where so many miners lost their lives on August 26, 1892, when a huge explosion shook the Parc Slip mine; 112 men and boys died with just 39 survivors: some remained trapped underground for a week before being rescued. Sixty women were widowed and 153 children left fatherless. The mine closed in 1904. A memorial to the disaster still stands consisting of 112 stones - one for every death.
