Go to the fifth brick pictured on this link, if you can't link in directly google Penmorfa Bricks website and open English bricks starting with "F" (For Farnley)

Fifth brick down I would kill to own. How it ended up where it did i dunno....

Thanks The Parksider . I've just had a look at that link and in particular the glazed Farnley brick recovered from Carnforth Station is fascinating.

I was doing a DIY project recently and got my hands on some old bricks one of which was this Whitakers. I'll have to see if I can spot any others.

Does anyone know where I could get a Jabez Woolley brick in good condition?

I may be able to find one, but these are common so anywhere in Leeds where there is demolition they may turn up.

I'll check....

One answer. Botany Bay was on Canal Road (Armley?) to the right of this https://goo.gl/maps/KCAbfffUzVFnm2pp8 I left the panorama view so you could refference landmarks, the most prominent being the viaduct on Kirkstall Road with I think St Michael's (Headingley) in the far distance.

The nearest brickworks I can find near Botany Bay is on Armley Road, where B&M is now. It is marked as Old Kilns

The Brick works are confirmed on my 1888 map below.
