Barry Orner sent in these shots of the old Haws Refractories "Brick Yard" that used to be along Cooper Avenue. His grandfather - George (pictured above) - worked there for many years before he retired in the early sixties.

This is a shot of the work gang and his grandfather as a young man.Click on the picture to enlarge.
