Mr Peter Swan. Mr John Bell. Mr William Blackadder |
030.08 | These works consist of a machine for making tiles, worked by water, with wooden sheds for drying, and a kiln for burning, and are situated on a low portion of land known as Whitrig Bog.--- A considerable portion of the land, near these works, was formerly a marsh, to which the name of Whitrig Bog applied, but it is now drained and the greater part of it in good pasture. There is a small peat moss from which the workmen employed about the place dig peats.---A few feet below the surface, clay is procured for making the tiles, and below this, a bed of marl is found. The water used for working the machine is carried away by means of a trench, in some places sixty-four feet below the surface of the ground, with air-shafts, sunk at different places |
