Lot Essay

Specialising in refractory brick, the Scottish-based Garnkirk Fire-Clay Company, established by the Sprot familly, became pre-eminent around 1850. In 1869, it was said to be the biggest fireclay company in the world, covering six acres and employing over 300 men. It was demolished in 1898.
