Dyson Refractories
The Explore
Visited here after finding George Barnsley's frustratingly sealed and a quick recce of the Crown Court proved fruitless too due to the quantity of humans in the area. Visited with Session9 and Fekneejit, good to meet you Steve
The place itself appears to be quickly demo-ing itself and I was quite surprised to find some nice little bits and bobs still there.
The History
(shamelessly stolen from Fekneejit who stole it from ProjectMayhem )
Founded by John Dyson who began mining clay and making bricks in the early 1800s and from its inception the business prospered. The 1834 Sheffield trade directory lists – “John Dyson – Brick Maker, Stannington†which indicates that he ran the business on his own. However, by 1838 the business was listed as “John Dyson and Son – Black clay miners and firebrick manufacturers, Griffs House, Stannington. The son referred to was John his eldest son. Dyson’s were manufacturers of refractory material, ceramics for the steel industry, they also produce firebacks and other household ceramic bricks for the likes of Agas etc. They have also been know to sell clay for use in well dressings
