Below – 23/03/1855 – Glasgow Herald – Bricks for sale. At Anniesland Brickfield, near the termination of Great Western Road. About 700,000 bricks of superior quality. As the ground must be cleared for extended operations in the summer season, they will be sold on liberal terms. The field is situated within a short distance of the Forth and Clyde Canal, on which there is a convenient wharf for shipment. Apply to John Kirkwood, Esq., 33 Buchanan Street, or to the manager at the field. Extract from the report of chemical analyses of clay and brick by Jas. Napier, Esq., F.R.S., Partick:-“These clays, so far as their composition is concerned, are most excellent for bricks, there being nothing in them in such quantity that is calculated to effect the destruction of the bricks made from them by exposure. The composition of the brick shows that no matters have been added that are deleterious to the quality. Some of your bricks I tested two years ago only imbibed from 7 to 10 per cent. of their own weight of water, and these have stood since that time exposed to the weather without defect.”
