The Firebrick Works
Built in early 1900s and at that time nearly all the output was despatched by barge to power stations. In the 1950s it was sent out by rail. 80% went to the UK power stations and the rest exported to Australia, Egypt, India, Iceland and Sweden. They used Lister fire clay from Denton Burn.
