The Glenboig Union Fireclay Works was indeed the largest fireclay company in the world in late 19th early 20th century, as a result of the merging of the Star Works and the Glenboig Works. Bricks went all over the world - they lined the furnace of the liner the Queen Mary, they were sent to the Czars in Russia in exchange for gold.There is a long history.
