About Fencing in Accrington
Accrington in Lancashire became famous well beyond the county for its tough red engineering brick, known as Nori brick, made from local clay from around 1887 and prized for its strength, a story that goes that the word Nori came about when workers accidentally placed the letters of IRON backwards in the brick moulds. These bricks proved strong enough to help build some of the modern age's great structures, including Blackpool Tower and even the foundations of New York's Empire State Building. The town's football club, Accrington Stanley, became almost as well known for its resilience, folding partway through a season in 1962 only to be refounded and finally return to the Football League in 2006 under the fitting description the team that would not die.
