This brick was manufactured by the Chamber Colliery Limited, which
operated a coal mine in the Hollinwood area of Oldham from the
late 1850s. The company added a 16-chamber Hoffmann-type
continuous brick kiln to the colliery site during the 1880s. It is
uncertain when the company ceased manufacturing bricks, although
the kiln is marked 'disused' on the Ordnance Survey map of 1922.

George Frederick Chantrell. In 1861, age 42, he was living in the Garston area of Liverpool and is described as a merchant & manufacturer of building materials, employing 110 men, 13 boys and 3 girls. In 1871 and 1881 he is shown as a builders merchant. I am doubtful whether he actually manufactured this brick, it being more likely he ordered batches with his name on. Photo by David McNicholas.
