Bricks seen inside a skip on Marlborough Park Central in south Belfast J3271 : Skip, Belfast. The inscriptions read "Annadale Brick Co. Ltd., Works, Ormeau Road, Belfast".
Brickworks in Belfast were established in the area between the Ormeau Road and Annadale from c1830 onwards. There were several companies operating brickworks here but the Annadale Brick Company was only first registered as leasee at the site in 1888; the brickworks were sited in J4371 roughly between the Annadale Embankment and Carolan Road (the site is now occupied by Wellington College). The fortunes of the company appeared to decline rapidly and by 1931 the site was abandoned, but thousands of their bricks are still to be found in houses across Belfast and Northern Ireland.
