LNWR engineering brick - a reference

The following are posted for refence/posterity:



They are representative of typical engineering bricks used by the former LNWR in the construction of bridge parapets etc. In this case, the bricks are the remains of a bridge parapet carrying the Benllech to Pentraeth Road over a deep cutting on the former Red Wharf Bay branch line, just outside Pentraeth village, a subject that has captured and maintained my interest over many years.
As I was in the area, I just thought I’d seize the opportunity to take a photo or two of its remains.

I hope they might prove useful to somebody.

I have just spotted these posts, and thought this might also be of interest.
