OLD EWLOE BRICK AND TILE WORKS

Charles Davison was one of the promoters of the Buckley Railway Company. He opened his first works at Ewloe Barn about 1840 and subsequently The Old Ewloe Works in Etna Road in 1862 adjacent to John Royle & Co.'s Etna Works. Davison's company also acquired the nearby Globe Works. The business was then conducted successively under the Hurlbutts, the Steins, and The General Refactories. Ultimately, only Old Ewloe remained and was closed down during the 1970s. After complete demolition and clearance , the site was used as a council refuse dump. From about 1996 the whole area was transformed into The Etna Park and Heritage Trail.
