Liquorice - Brick Bats sought

Am seeking a hard liquorice that used to be known as brick bats shaped like a miniature cricket bat, hard and chewy but cannot find them anywhere. Last seen in a sweet shop in Robin Hoods Bay Yorkshire about 20 years ago. Have looked online but no luck.

    Have you tried the Happy Sweet Shop. Its online. I was looking for a certain sweetie and e-mailed them and they had it. They have a lot of 'old fashioned' sweets. HTH :)

    They don't have them.

    Just as well really, £2.20 postage on a quids worth of sweets! I'd stick with the happy sweet shop, postage free.

    Just been looking round the happy sweet shop, the newsagent round the corner from me sells just abut everything that site does, but at a third of the price.

    If buying a fair bit of 'blast from the past' confectionary then try
    http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/index.php . They have tons of ideas online and standard postage is in their words no more than £3.95 unless in parts of Scotland or you want them next day and courier option is selected. There is also a shipping estimator for those not in UK.
