Allen Brickworks, Hipperholme
Glazed brick manufacturers established by Henry Victor Allen when he took over the Halifax Glazed Brick Works in the Walterclough valley. He converted the works to manufacture refractory bricks. Their Selfrac refractory bricks were world famous.
The bricks were carried by narrow-gauge railway up the valley to the sidings at Hipperholme station.
In recent years it was a plastic manufacturer, but a series of supicious fires and the bankrupcy of the site owner have meant the site is derelict now.
