More precisely, bricks from Thomas GrippeR's Nottingham Patent Brickworks.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the "patent" refers to a "brevet" protecting the bricks; their appearance ("vernies" like in "patent leather"?), or to the "briqueterie" itself, which might have been operated under a patent, or even (rare definition!) "Of a place, building, etc.: not shut in or enclosed, readily accessible" (New Oxford Shorter)
I suggest simply: briques rouges fabriquees par la briqueterie Thomas Gripper a Nottingham (sorry again about the accents).
