A MAN with Britain's biggest brick collection is looking for a museum to house them after it built past 4000.
Mark Cranston, 62, began his hobby nearly 15 years ago when he was looking for a doorstop for his garden shed.
He found a white painted brick from a former colliery and the discovery inspired the retired police sergeant to look into its history.
His passion grew from there and over the last 14 years, Mark has amassed a huge collection from Scotland, England, Wales and abroad.
He stores the rare bricks in his garden shed which the dad-of-two has had to extend over the years as his collection grew at his home in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire.
It now measures 20ft long by 10ft wide with multiple shelves - like a library to store the bricks.
