Eldon
Tim Lawton writes: I'm fairly sure this would have been made at the Eldon brickworks to the east of Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham. Again this was a colliery brickworks dating back to at least 1897 and part of the South Durham Colliery complex, later named Eldon Colliery. Gratifyingly the brickworks far outlived the colliery and is still producing bricks today under the ownership of Wienerberger.

Eltringham

The Eltringham Sanitary pipe & Brick Co., Thanks to Andrew Gardner for the photo.
The brickworks was set up by the Eltringham Colliery Company before 1881 on a site adjacent to the colliery and in 1883 the works was leased to Harriman and Co of Blaydon. At this time it operated as the 'Eltringham Brick and Tile Works making firebricks and white house bricks. It then expanded the range to include salt-glazed sanitary pipes. In 1891 a new company name: 'Eltringham Sanitary Pipe and Brick Company'. As well as pipes (3 inch to 15 inch diameter), they made mostly salt-glazed bricks. There were six round kilns in use in the 1890s and when the yard closed in 1970 there were eight round kilns. Source; http://thecastlegate.co.uk/theatrium/archives/172
