No, this is not a brick from the MG factory in Abingdon, England. Many decades past marked a time when bricks manufactured by Abingdon Shale were used in the construction of streets and buildings in Abingdon, Illinois, and surrounding areas, including much of Galesburg. The Abingdon Shale brick works is long gone, the brick streets have mostly been torn out or paved over, and most of the buildings made with these bricks have already been razed. Consider yourself lucky if you manage to discover one of these Abingdon bricks in or around the town of Abingdon.
