A man with Britain's biggest brick collection is looking for a museum to house them all - as it swells to over 4,000.
Mark Cranston, 62, began the bizarre hobby nearly fifteen years ago when he was looking for a brick as 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 the history of the brick.
His passion for them grew from there and over the last fourteen years, dedicated 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, Scottish Borders.
