Why Accrington Bricks Stand Out
Originally produced in the town of Accrington in Lancashire, these dense red engineering bricks are renowned for their extremely low water absorption, high compressive strength, and fire resistance. Accrington bricks were famously used in the foundations of landmarks like Blackpool Tower and the Empire State Building.
Their dark red tone, smooth face and consistent shape make them perfect for both modern builds and restoration projects. And when you choose reclaimed Accrington bricks, you’re not just getting materials — you’re getting history, integrity, and long-term performance.
