What is recorded here
Castlecary Fireclay Works rose on twenty-eight acres in 1904 to mine the largest known Glenboig clay field in Scotland. John G. Stein and Co built a colossal plant capable of shaping one hundred thousand fire bricks daily, driven by a five-hundred horsepower engine and lit by its own dynamo. The opening ceremony marked the transition from raw earth to industrial might when Stein turned the steam valve amid cheering workmen.
