Welsh Mystery Bricks

UBOs - Unidentified Brick-like Objects?

These bricks have been found in Wales but have beaten our collective attempts to identify them - their makers and their meaning. If you can help then please get in touch so they can take their rightful places.

Initials, letters or a secret code?

or perhaps some kind of brickmaker's Scrabble? Who Knows? Do you?
