Whilst heading home from an overnight stay at the caravan, we detoured to a farmshop/cafe that we've been to before (& it allows dogs in the cafe!)
After ordering & paying, I took Doris for a wander round the parking area, to see if she'd have a widdle, & noticed these bricks about a yard apart from each other
(the cafe is mile or so, off the A59, east of the A1, at jct 47)
What's the chances, that 30 miles away, from the brickyards we're up in North Yorkshire, I just glance at the ground & spot them?!?
Both are less than a 5-6 mile radius, from where we live
Nostell Brickworks is still there, not far off the A638/Wakefield - Doncaster road, opposite Nostell Priory
The only Castleford Brickworks that I can see, is essentially the other side of railway from the rubgy ground
I don't think there's any around Castleford, that I know of

There's no images of it, but this is at the junction, with the Boroughbridge road/B6265; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/291006
