minerals. Ddndyvan is a village in this parish. The urea ctf Old

31.073. '

poses, and erected into a parish, quoad sacra, under the name of
CaoB=iHiLL, it is situated three mika and a half from Coatbridge.on
the Edinburgh and Glasgow road, and contains places of worship
for the Establishment, the United Presbyterian, the Episcopal
Church, and Roman Catholic
Caldeh or Cadder parish extends along the northern boundary
of Lanarkshire, having Kirkintilloch and New Mooklaod on the
oast, New Kilpatrick on the west, Campsie on the north, and the
barony parisli of Glasgow on the south. Great improvements have
been mado in this district in agriculture. This progressive benefit
has been accelerated by the great canaJ between the Forth and the
Clyde, which passes through the parish for tive miles, whilst the
river Kelvin washes its northern boundary to tbe extent of six
miles. The NorUi British and Caledonian Railways pass through
this parish. The discov-ry of coal on the estate of Calder, and coal
ftnd ver/ valuable lire-clay on that of Garnkirk, has materially en-
hanced the price of land. Chryston, Mdirhead, and Moodiesbubm
are small villages in this parish, which encloses an area of 13,969
acres, and in 1871 had a population of 6,4G4.
Gaknkirk, in the parish of Calder, is situate on the Caledonian
Railway, about six miles from Glasgow, and three and a half from
Cnatbridge; this phice is impoitatit from the Gnrnkirk Fire Clay
works being situated here. This is perhaps the largest and most
complete miinulactory of fire-clay in Great Britain. There are about
5tJ0 men employed in mining and manufacturing the material. The
quality of the iire-clay on this property is quite equal to that ot
Stourbriilge, and the bricks, furnace blocks, retorts and crucibles
find their way in large quantities to all parts of America, Germany,
Holland and Russia. The manufacture of glazed pipes for water
and sanitary purposes and of ornamental articles, such as chimney
cans, vases and fonntains. is also extensively carried on at thi«
establishment. There are likewise two other extensive establish-
ments engaged in the manufacture of articles as above described,
viz :~Messrs. John Young and Sons, at Cardowan and Heathfleld,
and Mr. James Binnie, at Gartcosh. Population in 1871, 656.
Garnqueen is a village, about four miles north from Coatbridge,
Here at the Glenboig Works and the Star Fire Brick Works, fire-
clay and tire-bricks are extensively manufactured. Fire-bricks aro
also manufactured at GarLverrie, one mile distant, and iu this
